This includes diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy and a wide variety of nerve and muscle diseases.
Neurosurgeons Specialize in treating and correcting diseases of the brain, spine and peripheral nerves through surgery. This can include back surgeries, removing brain tumors and other specialized neurological procedures.
Pediatric Neurosurgeons Specialize in treating and correcting neurological problems in children through surgery, including back surgeries, brain tumor removal and other specialized neurological procedures. Neuropsychologists A clinical psychologist who specializes in assessing the relationship between the brain and behavior by evaluating problems with memory, attention, language, and problem solving that can be caused by neurological illnesses like stroke, epilepsy, or Alzheimer's disease.
