Neurology
Nervous system
Diagnosis, consultation and treatment of nervous system disorders.
A comprehensive approach to movement, sensation and memory health
Neurology assesses conditions involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. These systems influence movement, sensation, balance, speech, memory and many other functions.
During a consultation, the clinician reviews symptoms and medical history and may assess muscle strength, reflexes, sensation, balance, coordination and cognitive function. Any further testing and care plan is tailored to the clinical findings.
When should you see a neurologist?
- Recurring or unusually severe headache
- Dizziness or changes in walking and balance
- Tingling, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg
- Tremor, muscle stiffness or changes in movement
- Loss of consciousness, seizures or changes in speech
- Noticeable changes in memory, attention, sleep or sensation
How can the department help?
Neurologist consultation with a detailed review of symptoms and history
Neurological examination of movement, reflexes, sensation, balance and coordination
Indicated testing plus an individual treatment and follow-up plan
Emergency warning signs
Call emergency services immediately for sudden facial drooping, arm or leg weakness, speech or vision changes, abrupt loss of balance, or a sudden extremely severe headache.
This information is for general guidance. A diagnosis and treatment plan can only be made after a medical consultation and any necessary assessment.
