What is a neurologist?
A neurologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats problems with the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, which send messages between the brain and the rest of the body. A neurologist helps with conditions that affect how the body moves, feels, and thinks. For example, if someone has a lot of migraines, memory problems, or trouble with fine motor skills, a neurologist will run tests to figure out what’s causing those issues, then work with the patient on a treatment plan.
What conditions are commonly treated by neurologists?
Neurologists treat many conditions affecting the nervous system. Some of the most common examples include:
- Migraines, which are intense headaches that come with other symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound
- Epilepsy, which causes reoccurring seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain
- Strokes, which happen when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain damage that can lead to problems with speech or movement
- Parkinson’s disease, which impairs movement, causing symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and trouble with balance and coordination
- Alzheimer’s disease, which affects memory and cognition, leading to problems with thinking, remembering, and making decisions
- Multiple sclerosis, a muscle disorder in which the immune system attacks the nervous system, causing muscle weakness and balance issues
- Obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and other health problems
What tests are performed by a neurologist?
Neurologists use several tests to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. They might use imaging tests like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computed Tomography) scans to take pictures of the brain and spinal cord. An EEG (Electroencephalogram) measures electrical activity in the brain to check for problems like epilepsy. Neurologists may also conduct a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to look for signs of infection or disease. Blood tests and cognitive evaluations, like memory tests, may also be used to gather more information.
What neurological symptoms shouldn’t be ignored?
According to Yale Medicine, doctors usually start with blood tests to check for unusual cells or changes in
Some neurological symptoms can be signs of serious conditions and should not be ignored. These include:
- Sudden, severe headaches that feel different from what you’ve had before
- Unexplained weakness or numbness in your arms or legs
- Changes in how you see, speak, or move around
- Trouble remembering or making decisions
It’s important to seek medical care as soon as possible if you experience these symptoms because they could be signs of something more serious such as a stroke, brain injury, or neurological disease.
What causes neurological disorders?
Different neurological conditions can have different causes, like genetic problems, infections, injuries, or exposure to things in the environment. Some disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are linked to aging and the slow breakdown of brain cells. Others, like multiple sclerosis, happen when the immune system attacks the body’s own nerve cells by mistake. Traumatic injuries, like concussions, can also cause neurological problems. In some cases, the exact cause of a neurological disorder is unknown. For example, with Parkinson’s disease, doctors don’t know why some people develop it while others don’t, despite ongoing research.
When should I see a Neurologist in California, US?
There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as:

- You need specialized testing or procedures.
- You want a second opinion.

Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Neurologist?
Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.
