Neurology FAQs
What’s the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
A neurologist specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions through non-surgical methods like medication and therapy. Neurosurgeons (also on our team) are trained to perform surgical procedures on the brain, spine, and nervous system to treat conditions that may require operative intervention.
Can neurological disorders be prevented?
While some neurological conditions are genetic or age-related, adopting a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of conditions like stroke, neuropathy, and neurodegenerative diseases. Regular check-ups with a neurology specialist can help in early detection and prevention.
