Neurologist
Neuromed Plaza neurologist consultations and examinations
neurologist investigates and treats diseases and disorders of the nervous system, that is, evaluates: the functioning of the central nervous system – the brain and spinal cord; peripheral nerves and muscles – tingling, numbness, pain, weakness; neurological symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, memory impairment, movement or coordination problems, seizures. A neurologist diagnoses diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, migraine, neuropathies, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, etc. He may prescribe various examinations, such as electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging or blood tests, to clarify the diagnosis. Often, a neurologist collaborates with other specialists, such as a family doctor, cardiologist or psychiatrist, to ensure comprehensive treatment. In addition, a neurologist not only treats diseases, but also helps patients regain their quality of life through rehabilitation and prevention measures.
How are diseases of the nervous system treated?
Various methods are used in the treatment of neurological diseases – both drug therapy and, if necessary, blockades or surgical interventions, as well as massages, therapeutic exercises and water procedures. Physiotherapy, osteoreflexotherapy and other targeted procedures play an important role, as well as proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, which help to consolidate the results of treatment and improve the patient’s well-being.
What symptoms should you see a neurologist for?
It is recommended to consult a neurologist when you suspect a nervous system disorder. Neurological diseases can manifest themselves in various ways, and if symptoms are ignored, they can significantly worsen both your health and the quality of your daily life. Therefore, doctors recommend that you immediately schedule a visit to a specialist as soon as the first signs suggestive of possible neurological problems appear. The most common symptoms of neurological diseases: severe and prolonged headaches, dizziness, or vision problems (such as double vision); back, shoulder, waist, neck, leg, or arm pain; balance, movement, or walking disorders; unconsciousness attacks with or without seizures; tingling, muscle weakness, tremors, or uncontrolled movements; speech, memory, and concentration difficulties; sleep disturbances, fatigue, depression, or anxiety.
How to prepare for a visit to a neurologist?
To make the consultation as useful as possible, it is recommended to prepare in advance: write down your symptoms, their onset and intensity, as well as your family medical history; prepare a list of medications you are taking; write down questions so that you do not forget anything during the visit; bring the results of previous examinations with you; find out if any preparation is required before additional tests (e.g., do not take medications); take paper and a pen to write down the doctor’s recommendations.
How is a consultation with a neurologist done?
During the first visit, the neurologist listens to the patient’s complaints, asks about their duration, medications used, and other health problems. A neurological examination is performed and, if necessary, additional examinations are prescribed, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, electroencephalography, or vascular dopplerography. This helps to determine an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Most examinations are available at the Neuromed Plaza neurology center, but if necessary, doctors will recommend where to have them performed at cooperation partners. Individual approach: Treatment of pain and other neurological problems is addressed in a complex manner – combining lifestyle recommendations, medications, and procedures.
