Neurology Department for Brain and Nerve Care in Dhaka

Overview

Neurology is a specialist branch of medicine that focuses on the nervous system. This includes the diagnosis, management, and non-surgical treatment of conditions that affect your brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurological disorders can limit your body’s ability to function correctly, causing symptoms that range from headache or memory loss to a lack of sensation or control of a limb.Neurologists diagnose, treat and manage disorders affecting the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and muscles that activate movement and transmit sensation from all body parts to the brain).
