You can learn more about Alzheimer's disease by visiting the website of a reputable health organization, such as:
What are demyelinating disorders and how do neurologists diagnose and treat them?
Demyelinating disorders are conditions that damage or destroy the protective covering (myelin) that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.
This damage can disrupt the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Some common demyelinating disorders include multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica.
A neurologist can diagnose demyelinating disorders through a variety of tests, including MRI, CT scans, and spinal taps.
Comprehensive care treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
What type of sleep disorders can neurologists help diagnose and treat?
Highly qualified neurologists can help diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.
Treating sleep disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and other therapies.
What happens at a neurological examination?
Usually, they may start with a series of tests that a neurologist uses to assess a patient's nervous system.
During the examination, the neurologist will ask the patient about their medical history and any symptoms they are experiencing.
The neurologist will also conduct a physical examination, which may include tests of the patient's muscle strength, reflexes, and coordination.
Other tests may include imaging scans, such as an MRI or CT scan, and electrophysiological tests, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG).
What are cluster headaches, why do they happen and how are they treated?
Cluster headaches are a type of headache that is characterized by severe, recurrent pain that is usually centered around one eye.
The exact cause of cluster headaches is not fully understood, but they may be related to changes in patients brain chemicals or blood vessel constriction in the head.
Treatment options for cluster headaches depend largely on each individual patient, may include medications, oxygen therapy, and preventative measures to reduce the frequency of attacks.
What are movement disorders and how can they be diagnosed & treated by a neurologist?

Treatment options for headache disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques. In some cases, more aggressive treatments, such as injections or nerve blocks, may be necessary.
Can Neurologists help with Neck Pain?
Yes, neurologists can help. Neck pain is a common complaint that can be caused by a wide range of conditions, including muscle strains, spinal abnormalities, and nerve problems.
Neurologists are medical doctors who are trained to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the nervous system, including those that cause neck pain.
During an evaluation for neck pain, a neurologist will perform a physical exam and may also order imaging studies, such as an MRI, to help determine the cause of the pain. We have handpicked some of the best doctors and provided them with cutting edge technology which they leverage with their extensive experience and use the latest equipment to treat a wide spectrum for neurological care.
Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery. If you are experiencing neck pain, it is important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is classed as one of the chronic, autoimmune neurological disorders that affect the central nervous system (CNS).
When a person suffers from multiple sclerosis, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, a protective layer that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage. This damage disrupts the communication in the central nervous system between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms.
The onset of multiple sclerosis can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 50.
Symptoms of MS can vary widely, but may include problems with the central nervous system, muscle control and strength, sensory problems, and problems with vision. In some cases, MS can also cause cognitive problems, such as difficulty with memory and concentration.
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis, but a variety of treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment options for MS may include medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. In some cases, more aggressive treatments, such as immunotherapy, may be necessary. It is important to work closely with a healthcare team, including a neurologist, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder that affects the communication between nerve impulses and muscles, causing muscle weakness and fatigue.
A neurologist typically treats myasthenia gravis with a combination of medications, including cholinesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressive drugs, and steroids. Additionally, plasmapheresis (a process that removes antibodies from the blood) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy may be used. In some cases, surgical removal of the thymus gland may be recommended.
What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, loss of mobility and difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing.
