Neurology

Neurology is the study of the nervous system—the complex network that controls nearly every function of the body. It influences how we think, feel, and move, as well as essential functions like breathing and heart rate.

Because the nervous system is so intricate, the signs and symptoms of neurological disorders can vary widely. They may be subtle, vague, or overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis sometimes frustrating or overwhelming for patients.

At the SIH Brain & Spine Institute, our neurology team is here to guide you through that process. With the expertise of our neurologists and clinic staff, we work with you to create a personalized care plan built around your goals.

Patient-centered care helps to:

Improve satisfaction with treatment
Increase motivation and outlook
Support adherence to medical care
Enhance overall health and quality of life
