with special training and skill in studying, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
As a Neurologist, Mohammed J. Zafar, 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.
