Neurologists are medical professionals that focus on treating conditions affecting the brain, muscles, nerves, and spinal cord. They most often work at medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics, where they provide care for patients of every age. When receiving care by a neurologist, a physical examination and a neurological examination are commonly done at your initial visit. A neurological examination will look at your coordination, reflexes, and muscular power. Your neurologist may require more specific testing in order to obtain a diagnosis since many disorders might share symptoms. Numerous clinical procedures may also be suggested by a Neurologist to aid in the diagnosis or treatment of a problem. These might include:
Imaging such as MRI, CT, and PET scans.
Electromyography (EMG).
Lumbar puncture.
Electroencephalogram (EEG).
Tensilon test.
Other diagnostic clinical techniques used by Neurologists include Angiography and sleep studies.
According to AAMC www.aamc.org/cim/explore-opti... the 5 most common medical disorders encountered by Neurologists include:
Headaches.
Seizures.
Stroke.
Dementia.
Parkinson's disease.
