FAQ's

What is a neurologist?
A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. They treat conditions such as epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, and more.
During a neurological examination, the neurologist will review your medical history and perform a series of tests to assess your motor skills, sensory perception, reflexes, and coordination. The doctor may also order imaging tests, such as MRI or CT scans, to further evaluate your condition.

Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, memory issues, and changes in vision or speech. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a neurologist for evaluation.

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked, leading to brain cell damage. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a “mini-stroke,” has similar symptoms but is temporary and does not cause permanent damage. However, a TIA is a warning sign of a potential future stroke and requires medical attention.

Treatment for migraines can include medications to relieve pain and prevent attacks, lifestyle changes, stress management, and avoiding known triggers. In some cases, alternative therapies like acupuncture or biofeedback may be helpful.
