Different Neurological disorders which can be treated require different approach i.e. the treatment or symptomatic relief is different for each condition. So, the Neurologist will have to conduct some tests and interpret them to understand the right treatment approach for a particular patient.

The first visits are often very basic where the Neurologist will ask you questions about your medical history, the symptoms which you are going through, and a bit more to evaluate your health status. So, there’s nothing much to do yet, check with your Neurologist about the information on how you should prepare before visiting them.

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to a portion of the brain is stopped or if there is bleeding in and around the brain. It can severely affect the entire body. There are several causes of strokes like blood clots in the neck or brain, or if artery bursts within the brain. When you see someone with a sudden and temporary weakness or numbness in the face, arm or leg then it can be due to a stroke. Even a temporary loss of eyesight in one eye, difficulty with speech or difficulty understanding others, dizziness, and unexplained headaches can be a reason for a stroke.

Like any other medical professional, Neurologists work in government and private Hospitals, might have their private clinics or they can be a part of a team that is engaged in research work along with physicians and surgeons of other specialties.

Neurological examination is conducted by Neurologists so they can review the patient’s health history with special attention to the current condition. A neurological examination can help Neurologists understand and provide the patient with an effective diagnosis and treatment for neurological disorders.
