What Does Neurology?

Neurology is the clinical discipline dedicated to the assessment and care of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. A trained neurology provider uses a range of clinical examination, patient history, and diagnostic testing to determine the root cause within the neural network.

The clinician then conducts a focused nerve and function assessment that tests cognitive function, reflexes, coordination, sensation, and muscle strength. Based on what is discovered, additional tools such as MRI, CT scans, nerve conduction studies, or EMG testing may be used to gather more information.

That is why our specialists at East Coast Injury Clinic follow structured diagnostic protocols to ensure nothing is overlooked.
