Neurology

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems (and their subdivisions, the autonomic and somatic nervous systems), including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle.

Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, the scientific study of the nervous system. A neurologist is a physician specializing in neurology and trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat neurological disorders.

The Neurology Department at Sacred Heart Hospital offers complete assessment and management for the entire spectrum of neurological problems. Our neurologists have immense experience in diagnosis, treatment and care coordination.

Patients and their families are ensured compassionate care by highly skilled neurologists who use the most advanced approaches to manage diseases of the nervous system that include paralysis, dementia and epilepsy.
