What to expect at your first appointment
The neurologist reviews your symptom history and performs a neurological exam: reflexes, strength, sensation, and coordination.
Depending on your case, they may order imaging (like an MRI) or electrophysiological tests to complete the diagnosis.
Based on the results, they'll explain the diagnosis and a treatment plan, which may include medication, rehabilitation, or periodic follow-up.
