A neurologist is a medical doctor with additional special training in diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. A neurologist's medical training includes college, four years of medical school, a one-year internship and three years of neurology residency training. Some neurologists have additional training in one area of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders or dementia.
| What does a Neurologist do? |
Neurologists are usually consultants to other physicians. When a patient has a neurological disorder that requires frequent care,
Neurologists are often the principal care provider. Patients with disorders such as
headaches,
Parkinson's disease, seizures,
Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis may use a
Neurologist as their principal care physician.
In a consulting role, Neurologists will diagnose and treat neurological problems and then advise the primary care physician in managing the patient's overall health. For conditions such as stroke, concussion,
back pain or
headache, a Neurologist may diagnose the condition then make recommendations for further testing and treatment.
Neurologists can evaluate patients for possible surgical treatment, but do not actually perform surgery. When treatment requires surgery, a
Neurologist will monitor surgically-treated patients, manage their neurological problems and supervise their continued care. Neurosurgeons are medical doctors who specialize in performing surgical treatment of the brain, spinal cord, spine and nerves.
