FAQ's Related to Cardiologist

A Neurologist diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. They manage conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, and motor neuron diseases.

You may consult a neurologist for persistent headaches, numbness or weakness, memory problems, tremors, balance or walking difficulties, seizures, or when a neurological condition such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease is suspected or has been diagnosed.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic condition of the central nervous system in which the immune system damages the protective covering of nerve fibres. This can cause symptoms such as vision problems, weakness, numbness, fatigue, and difficulty with balance and coordination.

MRI can show lesions in the brain and spinal cord that are characteristic of multiple sclerosis. It helps doctors confirm the diagnosis, monitor disease activity, and assess response to treatment.

Neuroimaging refers to techniques such as MRI that produce images of the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord. These help in diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions.

Clinical neurophysiology involves tests such as EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies that measure the electrical activity of the brain, nerves, and muscles to help diagnose neurological disorders.

Neurorehabilitation is a programme of therapies designed to help patients recover or adapt after neurological illness or injury, improving movement, function, and quality of life.
