About Neurology
Neurology is a field of medicine dealing with disorders of the brain and related parts. The doctor who treats such a disorder is called a neurologist. A neurologist can help in treating problems such as movement disorders, epilepsy, and atrophy. These disorders do not require surgery and can be improved by medications and changes in daily life.
