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.
There are many other symptoms that might lead your doctor to refer you to a neurologist. These are generally unexplained symptoms that could be caused by several conditions. For example, unexplained pain could be the result of multiple conditions that cause your nerves to become overactive, while dizziness could be the result of injury or inflammation to your brain. Memory loss can also lead people to a neurologist. You might be referred if you’ve been having increased forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, and brain fog.
