Who is a Neurologist?
A neurologist specialises in diagnosing, treating and managing conditions of the brain and nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves).
The human nervous system is one of the most complex and critical networks in the body, responsible for a wide range of functions, including movement and cognition. When issues arise related to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, consulting a neuro doctor becomes essential. Neurologists are highly trained specialists who diagnose, treat, and manage a broad spectrum of neurological conditions affecting patients of all ages.
