Overview

Neurology deals with conditions of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. A neurological consultation is often the first step when you have symptoms such as headaches, seizures, weakness, numbness, dizziness or memory problems.

During the consultation, the doctor listens to your concerns, reviews your medical history and examines your nervous system to understand what may be causing your symptoms and what should happen next.

When to consider this clinic

  • Frequent or severe headaches
  • Fits, seizures or unexplained blackouts
  • Weakness, numbness or tingling in the face, arms or legs
  • Dizziness, vertigo or problems with balance
  • Tremor, stiffness or slowness of movement
  • Memory loss or confusion
  • Back or neck pain that spreads into an arm or leg

Having one or more of these does not by itself mean you have a particular condition. A doctor's assessment is needed to find the cause.

What happens at your visit

  1. A detailed conversation about your symptoms, how they started and how they affect your daily life.
  2. A neurological examination, which may check strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination, walking, vision and speech.
  3. A review of the previous reports, scans and medicines you bring.
  4. An explanation of the possible causes and whether any tests are needed.

Who may benefit

  • Adults with new, persistent or worsening neurological symptoms
  • People referred by another doctor for a neurological opinion
  • People with a known neurological condition who need regular review
  • Family members who have noticed changes in a loved one's memory, behaviour or movement
