Neurology Consultation in Ibiza
Neurology is a medical speciality that encompasses the study of the nervous system. If you need private advice to resolve an issue that worries you, the best neurologists in Ibiza are waiting for you at our medical centre, always at your disposal to follow up on your case.
What is neurology?
Neurology in medicine comprises the study of the nervous system and diseases of the brain, peripheral nerves, spinal cord and muscles.
It is a clinical speciality that is continuously developing due to important advances in the field of neurosciences, brain and other diseases affecting the nervous system. This leads to new therapeutic alternatives and the treatment of many neurological diseases.
What does the neurologist treat?
The doctor responsible for the study of the nervous system and its diseases is the neurologist. This is the medical professional with specific training in diseases affecting the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system.
A neurologist treats disorders of the nervous system and muscular disorders. That is, disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Also muscle disorders that cause pain, especially headaches.
This specialist is also competent in cerebrovascular diseases, Parkinson’s disease, headaches, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, infections of the nervous system, tumours and other complications of head and spinal trauma.
The neurologist can also assess language, learning, memory and behavioural disorders. As well as disorders of brain function due to damage to some other organ or system, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas and endocrine glands.
Sometimes neurological symptoms can be studied to clarify the underlying disease. That is why it is so important to go to neurology and, above all, to put yourself in the hands of the best professionals.
When to see a neurologist?
There are times when a patient feels unwell and does not know which medical speciality to go to. In general, the neurologist should be consulted if there is any disorder associated with the nervous system, muscle or pain, including headaches. You may also be referred by another medical professional.
The usual symptoms that may lead a patient to have to visit a neurologist are as follows:
- Continuous and intense headache over time.
- Loss of sensation in the extremities (or tremors)
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Frequent memory problems
- Sleep disturbances
- Speech disturbances
- Involuntary Compulsive Disorders (ICTs)
These are symptoms that often tend to be overlooked but may indicate that something is wrong. If these symptoms occur frequently, it is important to seek a neurological consultation, in order to study why they are occurring.
When the patient comes to the clinic, it is usually to confirm or rule out the existence of some kind of neurological pathology. To do this, they must undergo a personal interview in order to learn about their clinical history.
Physical examinations and tests that may be necessary for a correct diagnosis are then carried out. In general, we are talking about tests such as transcranial ultrasound scans, ultrasound scans of supra-aortic trunks, scans and magnetic resonance imaging.
Through these tests, the specialist can confirm or rule out any pathology.
Main neurological diseases
With regard to the main neurological diseases, we mainly highlight the following.
- Stroke: this is a disease that can have very serious effects on people. It is the leading cause of death in women and the second in men, affecting around 30,000 people a year in our country.
- Alzheimer’s: this is a neurological disease that is growing over the years due to the high life expectancy of the population. Efforts are being made to try to alleviate its effects and control it.
- Other neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, epilepsy, ALS or multiple sclerosis in young women are the order of the day and may require consultations with a neurology specialist to cope.
These are some of the main neurological diseases that bring many patients to consultations every year, either for diagnosis or follow-up. This is why it is so important to go if you have any symptoms or signs of a neurological disease.
