Neurology at Cameron Regional Medical Center

What is Neurology?       

Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Neurologists treat conditions such as migraines, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. The nervous system controls all the body’s functions, so neurological diseases can significantly impact a person’s quality of life.

Neurologists use advanced imaging techniques, such as MRIs and CT scans, to diagnose conditions and create personalized treatment plans. They often collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care for neurological disorders.

Common Conditions Treated

• Headaches: Including migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches.
• Epilepsy: Seizure disorders that require management through medications and lifestyle adjustments.
• Parkinson’s Disease: A degenerative disorder of the central nervous system affecting movement.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune condition affecting the nervous system, causing symptoms like weakness, numbness, and difficulty with coordination.
• Alzheimer’s Disease: A progressive neurological disorder that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline.

Procedures and Treatments

• Electromyography (EMG): A test to evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A non-invasive imaging technique used to examine the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
• Electroencephalogram (EEG): A test to measure the electrical activity in the brain, often used to diagnose epilepsy.
• Medication Management: Prescribing drugs to manage conditions like Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis.
• Neurostimulation: Treatment for chronic pain and movement disorders, using electrical impulses to stimulate nerves.
