Similarly, the role of a neurologist is identifying and treating different disorders of the brain, nerves and spinal cord. Both children and adults can experience neurological disorders at any stage of their lives. It has been noted that neurological illnesses impact other body regions too.
SOME COMMON SYMPTOMS THAT MAY INDICATE NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS:
- Persistent weakness, headache or paralysis in body parts
