Neurosurgery

Neurologists manage and treat neurological conditions, or problems with the nervous system. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms you might need to seek treatment from a neurologist:

coordination problems
muscle weakness

seizure disorders, such as epilepsy
stroke
multiple sclerosis
neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis
infections of the nervous system, including encephalitis, meningitis, or brain abscesses
neurodegenerative disorders, such as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease
