Specialty Care for the Brain & Nervous System
Neurologists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Some people are born with neurological conditions. People can also develop nerve-related problems after an accident or as they get older.
Common conditions or diseases treated by these specialists are:
- Stroke
- Headaches
- Multiple sclerosis
- Seizure disorders
- Parkinson’s disease
- Carpal tunnel syndrome nerve testing
- Numbness in feet, hands or other extremities
- Dementia and Alzheimer's disease
- Problems involving the brain and spine
Our multi-diverse team of neurologists uses sophisticated diagnostic equipment to diagnosis patients, which include:
- Nerve and Muscle Testing (EMG/NCV)
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) - for all ages
If you have serious or ongoing nervous-system health issues, your primary-care provider may refer you to neurologist for help. Also, you are highly encouraged to take advantage of PeaceHealth's free advance care planning resources in the event of a critical illness.
