Neurology
Health Screening plays a crucial role in preventative healthcare by identifying potential health issues at an early stage, enabling timely intervention and treatment.
Neurology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists assess conditions that affect movement, sensation, cognition, and behaviour, using detailed clinical examinations and diagnostic tools such as MRI scans, EEGs, and nerve conduction studies.
​
Common conditions treated in neurology include stroke, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathies, and memory disorders like dementia. Neurologists work to understand the underlying causes of symptoms, manage chronic illnesses, and provide treatments aimed at reducing symptoms, improving function, and preventing further deterioration.
​
Neurologists often collaborate with other specialists—such as neurosurgeons, physiotherapists, psychologists, and rehabilitation teams—to deliver comprehensive care. Their work extends beyond treatment to include patient education, long-term management plans, and ongoing monitoring. Through continued research and clinical practice, neurology advances our understanding of the nervous system and improves outcomes for individuals with neurological conditions.
