Neurology
Providence neurologists provide comprehensive care to patients with neurological disorders that require careful attention. Patients and families affected by conditions like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis can count on the experience of our compassionate neurologists for their treatment.
Our neurologists act as a specialized consultant to other physicians for a variety of conditions ranging from stroke and headaches to nerve disorders and brain tumors.
In a consulting role, a neurologist has the ability to diagnosis and treat a neurological disorder and then advise the primary care physician managing the patient's overall health.
When a neurological condition requires surgery, neurologists work in collaboration with neurosurgeons to monitor patients and supervise their continuing treatment.
Expert neurologic care can provide treatments for a variety of conditions such as:
- Stroke
- Alzheimer's disease
- Headache
- Epilepsy
- Parkinson's disease
- Sleep disorders
- Multiple sclerosis
- Pain
- Essential tremor
- Brain and spinal cord injuries
- Brain tumors
- Peripheral nerve disorders
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Movement disorders
Providence neurology services accommodate the medical needs for patients of all ages. Our services include:
-
Stroke
Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, which keeps brain cells from receiving the oxygen they need to live.
-
Neurological Rehabilitation
Our therapies help people regain their quality of life after a stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury and other neurological conditions.
-
Neurosurgery
When a neurological condition requires surgery, neurologists and neurosurgeons collaborate to provide advanced surgical treatments.
-
Neurosciences
Our neurological specialists conduct and administer treatments for a wide range of brain conditions.
