Neurologists work at hospitals and private practices to create and administer treatment plans for a patient’s nervous system. They treat issues like sleep disorders, chronic pain, epilepsy, head trauma and infections. They examine a patient’s vision, movement, speech, coordination, reflexes and sensation levels to determine possible neurological causes of their symptoms. Neurologists measure and monitor the brain’s electrical activity to identify abnormalities. They educate patients on their condition and provide them with information about support services and assistive technology that could improve their quality of life. They identify warning signs for tumors and refer patients to Surgeons and Oncologists.
