Frequently Asked Questions About Neurological Care
What symptoms should prompt me to see a neurologist?
Persistent headaches, unexplained dizziness, memory problems, muscle weakness, tremors, seizures, or changes in sensation may indicate a neurological condition that should be evaluated by a specialist.
How do I prepare for my neurology appointment?
Bring a list of your current medications, medical records related to your condition, and notes about your symptoms, including when they started and what makes them better or worse. Consider bringing a family member or friend who can help provide information.
What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
Neurologists diagnose and treat neurological disorders primarily using medications and non-surgical approaches. Neurosurgeons perform surgical interventions for neurological conditions. At Conway Medical Center, our neurologists refer patients to neurosurgeons when complex surgical treatment is necessary.
How does neurology connect with stroke care?
Neurologists are essential to stroke care, as they specialize in understanding brain function and blood flow. Our neurologists work with our emergency teams to rapidly diagnose strokes, implement treatment protocols, and develop rehabilitation plans for recovery.
