Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions:

  • Central Nervous System (CNS): the brain and spinal cord

Neurology FAQ

How do I know if my headache is a migraine?

Migraines are often a disabling headache that frequently occur on one side of the head. Pulsing and throbbing sensations are commonly experienced along with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. A tension headache is a mild, dull pressure that is not accompanied by other symptoms. A cluster headache is often a severe “stabbing” pain behind the eyes and congestion in your sinuses.

What is the difference between Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease?

“Dementia” is not a disease, but rather a set of symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior; it is the most common form of dementia.

What are the signs of a stroke?

The best way to determine if you or someone else is having a stroke is to think FAST.
