What Neurologists Treat
Neurology is the field of medicine that focuses on the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. When something isn’t working properly in these systems, it can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect how you think, feel, and function.
Common neurological conditions treated include:
- Migraines and chronic headaches
- Dizziness and vertigo
- Memory problems or cognitive decline
- Parkinson’s disease and tremors
- Neuropathy and nerve pain
- Seizures and epilepsy
- Multiple sclerosis
- Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
- Stroke and recovery support
- Sleep-related neurological issues
Apex Neurology offers comprehensive evaluations and testing to help get to the bottom of your symptoms and find a path forward that feels manageable and clear.
When to See a Neurologist
Many neurological symptoms are easy to overlook at first. But when they start to interfere with your work, relationships, or routine, it’s time to speak with someone who understands how these systems work together.
Patients in the Upper West Side often schedule a neurology visit when experiencing:
- Frequent headaches that don’t respond to standard treatment
- Sudden dizziness or loss of balance
- Tingling or numbness in the hands, feet, or face
- Memory changes or confusion
- Difficulty speaking or understanding language
- Muscle weakness or tremors
- Vision changes that don’t involve the eyes
- Seizures or blackout episodes
- Pain that may involve nerve damage
Getting evaluated early can lead to better outcomes, prevent complications, and bring peace of mind.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first visit includes a detailed conversation with your provider. They will ask about your health history, current symptoms, medications, and how these concerns are affecting your daily life. A physical neurological exam may also be performed to test your strength, reflexes, balance, memory, and coordination.
If further testing is needed, many services are available directly at the Midtown East neurology office, just a short distance from the Upper West Side. These may include:
- EEG (Electroencephalogram): Measures brain activity for concerns like seizures or sleep disorders
- EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies: Assesses nerve and muscle function, often used for numbness or weakness
- Video Nystagmography (VNG): Evaluates eye movement to help diagnose balance or dizziness issues
- Carotid and Transcranial Doppler Ultrasounds: Measure blood flow to the brain to assess stroke risk
- IV Therapies: Includes magnesium, steroids, and multivitamins for symptom relief
- Botox Injections: Used for conditions like chronic migraines or muscle spasticity
- Trigger Point or Joint Injections: Relieves pain in specific areas
- Sleep and Cognitive Screenings: Supports diagnosis of insomnia, apnea, or memory loss
Your provider will walk you through every test or recommendation so you feel informed and supported.
