Neurologists specialize in treating and diagnosing disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system, including headaches, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neuropathic pain, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and stroke. While some neurologists specialize in one area, such as movement disorders or neuromuscular disease, others, like Zacharias, practice as general neurologists. However, some conditions need specialized care and treatment. This includes conditions of the nervous system like seizures, migraine, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. For these conditions, your doctor will likely recommend that you see a specialist called a neurologist.
