Neurology is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system which is made up of the central and peripheral nervous system, and which includes the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

Neurologists can be principal care providers, consultants to other doctors, or both. When a person has a neurological disorder that requires frequent care, a neurologist may serve as the principle care provider along with the primary care physician. In a consulting role, a neurologist will diagnose and treat a neurological disorder and then advise the primary care doctor managing the person´s overall health. Neurologists can recommend surgical treatment, but they do not perform surgery. Neurosurgeons are medical doctors who specialize in performing surgical treatments of the brain or spine.
