BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

A neurologist's examination is essential for the early detection and treatment of neurological diseases, such as migraines, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other nervous system disorders. A neurologist uses a variety of diagnostic techniques to assess the functionality of your nervous system, including testing your reflexes, muscle strength, balance, and coordination.

During your initial examination, a neurologist will take a detailed medical history, including information about your symptoms, family history of neurological diseases, and any past injuries. This step is crucial because it allows the doctor to get a clear picture of your health and potential risk factors for neurological disorders. Once the doctor has gathered the information, he or she will perform a clinical neurological examination, where the neurologist will examine your strength, coordination, balance, reflexes, and sensitivity.

If additional information is needed, a neurologist may recommend specialized diagnostic tests, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) to provide a more detailed picture of possible disorders in the brain or spine. These tests help to make an accurate diagnosis and allow monitoring of the development of the disease.

After analyzing all the data, the neurologist makes a diagnosis and creates a treatment plan. In the treatment of neurological diseases, the plan may include drug therapy, physiotherapy, specialized treatments or, in some cases, surgical interventions. The treatment plan is always individual and tailored to the specific needs of the patient.

An examination by a neurologist is important not only for making a diagnosis but also for preventing more serious neurological disorders. Regular examinations can help in early identification of the disease and allow treatment before serious complications occur. If you have neurological symptoms or want a preventive approach to your health, an examination by a neurologist at our clinic will be the first step towards improvement.
