Altru’s Neurology team treats conditions involving the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. The nervous system is the control system of the body, receiving information from throughout the body and sending messages in response. In addition to controlling thoughts, sensory input and movement, the nervous system maintains homeostasis and function of all the body systems.
We treat neurological conditions in both the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) as well as the peripheral nervous system (the nerves throughout the body). Our team of neurosurgeons and neurologists offer diagnosis, symptom management and surgical treatment for many types of neurological problems.
Conditions we treat include:
- Acute neurological conditions including stroke, nerve injury, seizures and infections.
- Degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, ALS and Alzheimers.
- Autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis.
- Various neurologic and myopathic disorders utilizing electrodiagnostic medicine.
- Chronic migraines.
If you are experiencing a neurological condition, your primary care provider will refer you to one of Altru’s board-certified neurologists or neurosurgeons. Our experienced providers can offer the best treatment for your condition, from rehabilitation therapy and medication to improve function, to peripheral or central neurological surgery.
