Neurology is the branch of medicine that treats diseases of the nervous system; the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This encompasses such common problems as epilepsy, vestibular disease, intervertebral disc disease, congenital disorders, neoplasia and other various issues.

They will utilize advanced imaging such as CT or MRI scans to look at the structure of the nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tap and analysis, muscle and nerve biopsy, and neurosurgical approaches to the brain, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.
