Neurologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and management of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and both the central and peripheral nervous system that controls the entire body. The nervous system can be incredibly delicate and complex, so special care is taken to provide appropriate levels of diagnostic testing and treatment.
