Neurologist, Neurosurgeon and Orthopedic Doctors in Delhi

Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all the disorders and disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle. The physician who specializes in neurology, and is trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat neurological disorders is known as neurologist.

Some of the commonly encountered conditions treated by neurologists include headaches, radiculopathy, neuropathy, stroke, dementia, seizures and epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, head trauma, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and various infections and tumors of the nervous system.

Although neurologists diagnose and treat neurological diseases, they do not perform surgical operations. They merely recommend what surgical treatment is necessary to a neurosurgeon. A neurosurgeon is a specialist surgeon who has been trained in surgery on the spinal and brain. Conditions treated by neurosurgeon are:

• Spinal disc herniation

• Intractable pain of cancer or trauma patients and cranial/peripheral nerve pain

• Some forms of intractable psychiatric disorders
