Neurology Evaluation & Treatment
Neurology Evaluation & Treatment
Neurology is the area of medicine concerned with conditions of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Patients often seek a neurology evaluation for symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, headaches, or nerve-related pain, whether after an injury or with an ongoing condition. At Complete Care in Bronx, NY, this evaluation is led by a Provider on our team, and pain management, rehabilitation medicine, and electrodiagnostic testing are also offered at the practice.
What the Evaluation Involves
In general, a neurology evaluation includes a review of symptoms and history, a physical and neurological examination, and, when considered appropriate, diagnostic testing.
- EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — electrodiagnostic tests that may help assess nerve and muscle function.
- Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
- Computerized Range-of-Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion.
Concerns Commonly Evaluated
- Neuromuscular symptoms — concerns involving nerve and muscle function.
- Symptoms after an injury — nerve or musculoskeletal symptoms following an accident.
- Orthopedic injuries — which may be evaluated together with neurological findings.
