Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders, diagnosis, and treatment of the nervous system. It covers all diseases affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Neurologists and Neurosurgeons specialize in treating diseases of the nervous system either through non-surgical or surgical methods, respectively. They reflect an immense sense of knowledge and eye for detail as they cover more than one area of neurology such as pain management, neuromuscular, sleep medicine, stroke and epilepsy. There is also significant overlap with behavioral and mental health as the two disciplines interlink greatly.
