Neurology
Neurology is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats patients with acute or chronic diseases of the central or peripheral nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles.
Physicians specialized in neurology, known as neurologists, focus on diagnosing and treating a wide range of neurological conditions, from common diseases to more complex disorders.
