From the brain to the spinal cord to the nerves and muscles throughout the body, a neurologist has you covered. A neurologist is a medical doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system.
The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions:
- Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
- Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as the eyes, ears, skin, and other sensory receptors
