The nervous system is the body’s communication highway. It sends signals between the brain, nerves, and muscles that tell the body what to do. A neurological disorder is a condition of the nervous system that can affect the body in many different ways.

Symptoms of a neurological disorder may include:

  • Weak, tingling feelings in the limbs
  • Muscle weakness
  • Partial or complete paralysis
  • Seizures
  • Pain
  • Difficulty reading or writing
  • Difficulty thinking or speaking
  • Vision changes
  • Dizziness
  • Mood swings
  • Memory loss
  • Chronic headaches or migraines

You can find treatment for neurological disorders close to home at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. Our skilled team of neurologists provides diagnosis, treatment, and management of these conditions for patients of all ages.

Diagnostic Tests

Neurological disorders often require extensive testing to diagnose. The nervous system cannot be examined with a physical or imaging exam like other systems. An extensive review of your medical history, reflexes, coordination, and cognitive abilities must take place. Imaging tests like MRI and electromyography can help with this process but usually aren’t sufficient on their own. Our team has extensive experience and access to advanced technology to diagnose neurological disorders.

Common Neurological Disorders

Some of the more common neurological disorders include:

  • Multiple Sclerosis – An autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the nervous system. It causes numbness and weakness in the limbs and an electric shock feeling when making specific neck movements.
  • Epilepsy – A condition that makes one more prone to seizures.
  • Parkinson’s Disease – A progressive condition that causes uncontrollable body tremors. It can also cause muscle stiffness and difficulty moving.
  • Alzheimer’s – Progressive memory loss that typically begins in old age.
  • Cerebral Palsy – This is an umbrella term for many disorders that weaken muscles and make it difficult to move, swallow, speak, or hear. Typically begins in childhood.
