What Does a Neurologist Do?

Neurologists are qualified to perform tests and prescribe treatments to patients living with a neurological illness or injury. Neurological specialists work with patients of all ages and treat a wide range of conditions and accompanying symptoms. It is likely that your neurologist will recommend diagnostic testing at your initial appointment to confirm diagnosis.

Common neurological tests include x-rays, ultrasound, biopsies, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Additional diagnostic testing may include:

  • Angiography
  • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Electronystagmography (ENG)
  • Evoked potentials
  • Myelography
  • Thermography
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)
  • Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

If one or more diagnostic tests are recommended by your neurologist, you will be able to receive them from the convenience of our Lompoc medical laboratory and imaging services department. From there, your neurologist may recommend one or more targeted treatments to relieve your injury or condition. These treatment methods may include, but are not limited to:

  • Medication therapy
  • Interventional neuroradiology
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery
  • Deep brain stimulation
  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Physical therapy and other rehabilitative services
  • Neurosurgery / microsurgery
  • Spinal surgery
  • Botulinum toxin injections
