Neurology

Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the nervous system. This includes diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles.

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.
