What is neurology?

Neurology is a field of medicine focused on the health and function of your peripheral nervous system. That system provides sensations throughout your body, sending signals to your central nervous system (spinal cord and brain).

The Advanced Medical Care team provides advanced diagnostic testing services and personalized treatment plans for a range of conditions that affect your nervous system, including:

• Stroke
• Epilepsy
• Migraines
• Dizziness and vertigo
• Balance disorders
• Essential tremors
• Neuropathy (nerve damage)
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Advanced Medical Care also offers comprehensive care for chronic neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

When should I schedule a neurology consultation?

You should schedule a consultation at Advanced Medical Care if you experience symptoms of a neurological disorder, like dizziness, loss of consciousness, memory loss, and seizures.

The medical team uses advanced diagnostic tests in the office to confirm your diagnosis. These tests can include:

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

An EEG tests abnormalities in the brain’s electrical activity to diagnose epilepsy and seizure disorders.

Electromyography (EMG)

An EMG tests electrical activity in the nerves of your muscles to identify nerve and muscle disorders like neuropathy.

Electronystagmography (ENG)

An ENG diagnoses balance disorders, involuntary eye movements, and the underlying cause of dizziness.

Transcranial doppler (TCD)

TCD testing involves an ultrasound imaging of the brain to identify blood clots and other abnormalities that interfere with healthy blood flow.

Which neurology treatments are available?

The Advanced Medical Care team is highly skilled at diagnosing and treating acute and chronic neurological problems. They use advanced diagnostic technologies to accurately confirm the cause of your symptoms, taking an approach to treating your condition that can involve several kinds of treatment.

Depending on the nature of your condition, the team could recommend:

• Botox® injections

At routine follow-up visits, the team monitors your progress to prevent it from getting worse. They adjust your treatment plan as needed.
