Neurological symptoms often require careful assessment because numbness, weakness, dizziness, or abnormal movements can develop from several different conditions.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke provides patient information about neurological disorders, including conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.
Patients experiencing recurring headaches can also review the NINDS information on migraine.
Neurology and Patient Care Approach
A neurological examination may assess strength, sensation, reflexes, coordination, balance, memory, speech, and other nervous-system functions.
Dr. Gonzales-Portillo’s practice provides neurological evaluations alongside specialized diagnostic testing. An EMG and nerve conduction study may be useful when symptoms suggest a problem involving peripheral nerves or muscles, while an EEG records electrical activity in the brain and may be used when evaluating certain seizure-related concerns.
Imaging such as MRI or CT may also be recommended depending on symptoms and examination findings.
Treatment varies according to the diagnosis. Options may include medication, rehabilitation, physical therapy, injections, risk-factor management, or referral to another neurological subspecialty.
Neurological Diagnostic Testing
Electromyography measures electrical activity in muscles, while nerve conduction studies evaluate how effectively electrical signals move along peripheral nerves. These tests can help investigate unexplained numbness, weakness, tingling, or suspected nerve injury.
EEG testing records electrical activity in the brain and may be part of an evaluation for seizures or episodes of altered awareness.
Dr. Gonzales-Portillo’s professional profile also lists experience with botulinum toxin injections and nerve or trigger-point injections in appropriately selected neurological cases.
