Neurology

Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. They use a variety of diagnostic tests and procedures, including imaging studies, electrodiagnostic tests, and nerve conduction studies, to evaluate patients and make a diagnosis. They also provide treatment, including medications, physical therapy, and surgery, as needed.
