What is Neurology?
Neurology is a branch of medical science that is concerned with disorders and diseases of the nervous system. The term neurology comes from a combination of two words - "neuron" meaning nerve and "logia" meaning "the study of".
There are around a hundred billion neurons in the brain, capable of generating their own impulses and of receiving and transmitting impulses from neighboring cells. Neurology involves the study of:
-
The central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
-
Structural and functional disorders of the nervous system ranging from birth defects through to degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
We Welcome New Patients
We are currently welcoming new patients to our practice. Depending on your insurance provider, a referral from your primary care physician may or may not be necessary. Please call our office for any questions about becoming a new patient.
What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A person is diagnosed with epilepsy if they have two unprovoked seizures (or one unprovoked seizure with the likelihood of more) that were not caused by some known and reversible medical condition like alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar.
