Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.

What makes a neurologist unique?

Neurologists are physicans-specialists who treat diseases of the nervous system with conservative methods. Due to intense pace of today's life, more and more patients seek the advice of a neurologist.

The reason for this is a set of factors that negatively affect the function of the nervous system, namely:

• • fast pace of life;
• • lack of a full-fledged rest (because hours spent on social networks are not a holiday for the nervous system!);
• • a huge flow of various kinds of information that our brain perceives every day;
• • lack of dosed physical activity, sedentary lifestyle and insufficient exposure to fresh air;
• • irrational diet, consumption of semi-finished products and, as a result, overweight in combination with a sedentary lifestyle create a so-called vicious circle, which does not add health;
• • chronic stay under stress and tension (stressful work, difficult family relationships, frequent conflict situations, etc.).

All the above mentioned factors are the main reasons that negatively affect the state of the nervous system. There is an opinion that only mentally ill people visit psychiatrists and this is a cause of public condemnation and shame. On the other hand, there are no such stereotypes about a neurologist, although in the first and second cases it is a disease of the nervous system. The uniqueness of a neurologist is the ability to identify people who still need the help of a psychologist or psychotherapist, because after treating organic changes and pain, it is necessary to treat the patient's mental state and help him to cope with life's difficulties.

Thus, the symptoms that indicate the pathology of the nervous system and require consultation with a neurologist:

• • frequent headaches, back pain, chest pain, etc;
• • lightheadedness, dizziness, loss of consciousness;
• • disorders of sensitivity in the arms and legs;
• • sleep disorders (drowsiness during the day and insomnia at night);
• • violation of the emotional background (anxiety, irritability, a feeling of constant fatigue, exhaustion);
• • ringing, tinnitus;
• • convulsions.

THE PRIORITY AREAS OF WORK OF THE NEUROLOGIST OF THE SALUTAS MEDICAL CENTER ARE:

• • treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the brain and spinal cord;
• • treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine;
• • treatment of polyneuropathy;
• • treatment of inflammatory diseases and injuries of the nervous system;
• • diagnosis of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system;
• • diagnosis of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system;
• • carrying out medical drug blockades;

Even minor back pain that does not go away for years, or dizziness may be signs of a disease that requires specialist advice. Do not ignore the problem, see a doctor and allow yourself to be healthy and enjoy life.
