What is Neurology?
Neurology is a branch of medicine specifically dealing with disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and connective nerves throughout your body. The nervous system controls a lot of important systems in the body like consciousness, muscle movement, and the senses (touch, sight, etc.).
A Neurologist commonly deals with things such as: neurological disorders (such as Parkinson’s disease), injuries of the spine or brain, infections of the nervous system, and any issues directly affecting the nervous system.
