Neurological symptoms can have many different causes, so persistent weakness, numbness, tremor, headaches, or cognitive changes often require a structured neurological assessment.
For patients experiencing recurrent migraines, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke provides patient information about migraine.
People with sleep-related breathing problems can also review the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute information about sleep apnea.
Neurology and Patient Care Approach
Neurologists diagnose and manage disorders affecting the nervous system. Evaluation usually begins with a detailed medical history and neurological examination covering strength, sensation, reflexes, coordination, balance, cognition, and other functions.
Depending on the symptoms, further investigation may include MRI or CT imaging, blood tests, electroencephalography, electromyography, nerve-conduction studies, or sleep testing.
Dr. Blankenship’s clinical neurophysiology background is particularly relevant when electrical testing of the brain, muscles, or nerves can help clarify a diagnosis.
Treatment varies according to the underlying condition and may include medication, rehabilitation, lifestyle changes, sleep therapy, or coordination with other neurological specialists.
Sleep Medicine and Clinical Neurophysiology
Sleep disorders can affect concentration, cardiovascular health, mood, daytime alertness, and overall functioning. Sleep Medicine specialists evaluate conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and other disorders that interfere with normal sleep.
Clinical neurophysiology focuses on measuring electrical activity in the nervous system. Tests such as EEG, EMG, and nerve-conduction studies can help investigate seizures, peripheral nerve disorders, muscle conditions, and selected neurological symptoms.
Dr. Blankenship’s current professional listings identify both Sleep Medicine and Clinical Neurophysiology in addition to his primary Neurology practice.
