If a person is involved in an accident and the head suffers multiple injuries the person will be referred to a neurologist for special examination. In the event that your physician will diagnose you with problems such as disc herniation, internal tumors, and strain in the spinal cord.

There are diseases that are specifically handled by neurologists such as dementia, sleeping disorders, epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease which are supposed to be handled with the expertise they need. Neurologists are classified depending on the age group that they have specialized in, for instance, a child can be best treated by a child neurologist whereas aged persons are best attended to by a geriatric neurologist.
