When to See a Doctor

Neurologists are experts in one of the most complex systems known: the human nervous system.  Even the smallest change in the nervous system can have wide-reaching effects and symptoms.  Make an appointment with a neurologist if you are experiencing:

  • Behavior changes
  • Confusion, trouble thinking, or memory problems
  • Dizziness or balance and coordination problems
  • Insomnia (not being able to fall or stay asleep)
  • Numbness, weakness, or trouble moving
  • Pain without a known cause
  • Seizures
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Severe headaches
  • Trouble communicating, reading, or writing
  • Tremors or other involuntary movements
  • Vision changes

Call 911 or seek emergency medical help if you have sudden or severe neurological symptoms.

Diagnostic Tests

To help determine the cause of your symptoms, a variety of advanced tests can be useful:

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) – A diagnostic test for seizures, headaches, and dementia that records electrical activity in the brain.
  • Electromyogram (EMG), also known as a nerve conduction study – A procedure that assesses how well signals travel through the nerves and how well they reach the muscles.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan – An advanced and imaging test utilizes a magnetic field to produce very detailed pictures of the soft tissues of the body including the brain, nerves, muscles, and tendons.

Neurological Conditions

Given how complex the human nervous system is, conditions that affect the nervous system are vast.  Our Neurologists are experts in all conditions that affect the nervous system, from the routine to the very complex.  Some of the more common conditions that they treat include:

  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease
