At a neurology clinic, you’ll meet with a specialist consultant who will talk through your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have. They may carry out a neurological examination and arrange tests such as MRI scans, blood work, or nerve studies if needed. The aim is to understand what might be causing your symptoms and discuss the next steps clearly with you
You may be referred to a neurologist if you have symptoms that suggest a condition affecting the brain, nerves, or spinal cord. This could include headaches, seizures, numbness, dizziness, memory problems, or changes in coordination. Neurologists are trained to investigate these symptoms and provide a diagnosis or treatment plan.
Neurologists treat a wide range of conditions including migraines, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, neuropathy, and dementia. They also assess symptoms like numbness, muscle weakness, tremors, or unexplained changes in thinking or behaviour.
Being referred to a neurologist doesn’t always mean something serious is wrong, it simply means your doctor wants a specialist opinion to better understand your symptoms. In many cases, the cause may be mild or manageable, but a neurologist can help rule out more serious concerns and guide you towards the right care.
