A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. A neurologist examines patients, establishes diagnoses, prescribes treatment, and provides recommendations for maintaining the health of the nervous system. They may also specialize in certain areas, such as pediatric neurology, neurorehabilitation, or epileptology.

Given the peculiarities of the course of neurological pathology, treatment should be started on time to obtain the desired results. It is important to follow the recommendations for the use of medications and lifestyle changes by the person seeking help. This will help to improve health and reduce the frequency of exacerbations.

SYMPTOMS WHEN YOU SHOULD VISIT A NEUROLOGIST AT MED-ATLANT IN IVANO-FRANKIVSK

Symptoms of neurological diseases are quite diverse, because the nervous system regulates the functioning of all organs and systems of the body. Sometimes they may not seem particularly threatening.

If the following symptoms appear, we advise you to consult a neurologist at the medical diagnostic center “Med-Atlant” in Ivano-Frankivsk:
