A neurologist is a medical doctor with additional special training in diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. A neurologist’s medical training includes college, four years of medical school, a one-year internship and three years of neurology residency training. Some neurologists have additional training in one area of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders or dementia.
Many disorders can be treated. Treatment or symptomatic relief is different for each condition.
