If you’re experiencing tremors, difficulty walking, and loss of balance, it could indicate a neurologic problem. Sometimes, you may be recommended to visit a neurologist even for headaches. Neurological conditions or neuromuscular disorders can affect nearly every part of your body, leading to symptoms such as:

Difficulty swallowing
Episodes of unresponsiveness
Numbness or loss of sensation
Tingling sensation
Slurred speech or difficulty moving your tongue
Hazy or double vision
Loss of memory and concentration
Vertigo
Difficulty turning your neck
Muscle weakness, cramps, and twitching
A burning sensation in parts of your body
Migraines
Neck or back pain

Neurology Diagnosis

When your doctor suspects a neurologic condition, a range of tests may be recommended for neuro diagnosis. Neurologists diagnose and treat diseases and disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The neurologist will begin by performing a physical exam to determine your reflexes, coordination and muscle strength. Other tests may be needed to make an accurate neurology diagnosis.

Lumbar puncture: This is done to test the spinal fluid and is recommended when your symptoms are caused by a nervous system problem. In this procedure, a needle is inserted into the spine to take a sample of the spinal fluid.

Tensilon test: This is used to diagnose myasthenia gravis. A medicine called tensilon is injected and the doctor observes how it affects your muscle movements.

Electromyography (EMG): This test shows the extent of electrical activity between your brain and a peripheral nerve. In this procedure, small electrodes are inserted into your muscles to measure electrical activity when you rest and move.

Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test: This is used along with EMG to assess whether your nerves are sending the necessary signals that control your muscles. In this procedure, electrodes are taped over the muscles that were involved in the EMG test.

Electroencephalogram (EEG): In this, electrodes are placed on your scalp to measure electrical activity in your brain.
