Neurologists are doctors that usually diagnose and treat conditions that affect the central nervous system or peripheral nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Learn about how neurologists diagnose headaches, strokes, Alzheimer's disease and more with help from a board-certified neurologist in this free video on neurologists and their responsibilities.

Thank you Doctor. You are an inspiration for people who aspire for neurology..

I'm hopefully going to get diagnosed with epilepsy this month, hopefully the diagnosis will help me get on with my life

I’ve told the guy in past “ Don’t waste my time & I won’t waste your time “ his jaw dropped an he was like yes sir!

[tessebatt]

plus there's a bunch of interesting research to do in that field.

I got hurt in my left leg when I was 32 years old, from then to present I fell like moving air in my nerve system that cause pain from foot to hand, neck and head. What could it be?

I know blowing a whiste as they change to signal them to change direction and measure the rate of change time improvement. Or trying to slap there hand as they pull a way, or playing a certain video games, or repetitve dance movements help. But these are indirect methods of improvement ... and i know of know way to quantify progress so curious

Neurology. You could also try to get into a DO program instead of an MD program, where they'll teach you some extra musculo-skeletal stuff. Although, to be honest, put in work NOW. Study hard. Take lots of sciences. When you get into college, take the hardest professors and DON'T play around. I knew 20 people besides myself trying to get into medical school (which is after college)- only I got in. Everyone else couldn't, or opted for an easier career path.

So work hard kid!

@SHIRLEYRENSHAW I don't really know. I don't know what's going on in the neurology world, despite the fact that my father is a neurologist, haha. I just Youtubed "neurologist" to see other perspectives in the field.

Would it be recommended to see a neurologist if you have muscles tightening on one side of the body?

[sam]

great video i am into physical fittness and personal training. And for sports its a big deal to train for improving muscle reaction time. Because muscle reaction time is going to affect your runner speed. But there is a component in muscle reaction time that relys on the nervous system reaction/process time. I am wondering if you guys posses the tools to measure the nervous reaction time and know of a way to train specifically for that component. Any sports person can measure speed but very rarely do the measure muscle and nervous system reaction time. And know how to directly focus on training for that component / targeting that component. ???

[sam]

I know neurologist more focus on patients that have problems and try to get them to average people but your practice could be used to improve an athetics person reaction times for nervous system and neuro-muscle system to its full potiential... so that his speed potiental would be only a matter of improving muscle endurance and strength at that point. Very very interested in this aspect of what you do

I am studying this for becoming a neourologist in my future

@Farennah I read that it was right up there with rocket science.

[danapriess]

I was diagnosed with stenosis on my cervical spine. Can i get help for this by a neurologist.

[LuckyDukeSeven]

@needlearmor
DO and MD neurologists are essentially the same thing- Unless you want to use some of the extra training you receive as a DO.A DO would without a doubt have an edge in functional neurology.

With all due respect to Chiropractors, they aren't physicians or medical practitioners. It's hard to imagine how they could legally effectively treat a neurological disease. Certainly they can't diagnose one- not legally.

Stick with DO or MD. DO sounds like what you want.

Hi. I have high tryptophan 14 and sometimes a low temperature of 34 and I have a pulse of up to 200 and hands and feet are constantly cold even in summer and sometimes excessive activity and longevity with a greater percentage of lethargy and general fatigue and I did atomic scanning on the body and MRI of the brain, EEG, Prolonged EEG, 24h Holter, tablet test, CT scan of the chest, echo, EKG, blood picture, sodium, potassium, magnesium, cortisol stimulator, aldosterone, free T3, free T4, barothyroid hormone, ACTH, and TSH, and immunoassays for ANA, C3, C4 and IGe, and no one knows if they are rare syndromes in the body for certain acids, neurotransmitters or enzymes. I do not know. Please help, thank you very much. Sometimes I remember too much
