with special training and skill in studying, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
As a Neurologist, Antonio J. Silva Sayago, MD performs
diagnostic tests and a wide variety of neurological and cognitive treatments for a range of neurological disorders. Neurology is
the branch of biology that studies, assesses, and treats the anatomy, functions, and organic disorders of the nervous system. Significant diseases and conditions treated by
Neurologists include coordination problems, muscle weakness, sensation changes, confusion, dizziness, cluster headaches, migraines, seizure disorders like epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders, encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscesses, neurodegenerative disorders like Lou Gehrig's disease and Alzheimer's, as well as spinal cord inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
Medical tests, procedures and therapies provided by Neurologists
include lumbar puncture, tensilon test, EEG, CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan, angiography, and sleep studies for diagnosis, then the presciption of physiotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, pain management, medication and/or lifestyle changes.
A Neurologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or impaired function of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, autonomic nervous system, and blood vessels that relate to these structures.

Electrodiagnostic Medicine Doctor
Dr. Antonio J. Silva Sayago is an Electrodiagnostic Medicine Doctor in Berkeley, CA
with special training and skill in neurophysiological diagnostics of muscular, central nervous system, and peripheral nervous system dysfunctions.
As an Electrodiagnostic Medicine Doctor, Antonio J. Silva Sayago, MD performs
diagnostic tests to identify the cause of pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, cramps, and spasms. Electrodiagnostic Medicine is
a subspecialty of neuromuscular medicine that diagnosis and treats neuromuscular, neurologic, and muscular systems. Significant diseases and conditions treated by
Electrodiagnostic Medicine Doctors include limb trauma, multiple sclerosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, and radiculopathy.
Medical tests, procedures and therapies provided by Electrodiagnostic Medicine Doctors
include nerve conduction studies and electromyograms.
Electrodiagnostic medicine is the medical subspecialty that applies neurophysiologic techniques to diagnose, evaluate, and treat patients with impairments of the neurologic, neuromuscular, and/or muscular systems. Qualified physicians are trained in performing electrophysiological testing and interpretation of the test data. They require knowledge in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, histology, and pathology of the brain, spinal cord, autonomic nerves, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. They must know clinical features and treatment of diseases of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, as well as those of neuromuscular junction and muscle. Physicians also require special knowledge about electric signal processing, including waveform analysis, electronics and instrumentation, stimulation and recording equipment, and statistics.

Medical tests, procedures and therapies provided by Clinical Neurophysiologists
include EMG, electronystagmography, and epilepsy monitoring.
Clinical Neurophysiology is a subspecialty with psychiatric or neurologic expertise in the diagnosis and management of central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system disorders using combined clinical evaluation and electrophysiologic testing such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies (NCS).
