Neurology

Neurology encompasses all regions of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.   Muscle disorders are also included as these conditions show similar signs to primary nervous system disease.

Common signs of neurological problems include; seizures, balance disorders, changes in behaviour such as walking in circles, cranial nerve abnormalities, incoordination and weakness or paralysis of the limbs, neck or back pain, tremors and generalised or episodic weakness.
