When Should you Visit a Neurologist?

A medical visit to a neurologist is sometimes necessary in case of recurring headaches, loss of balance or difficulty in moving. What are the symptoms that can alert you to possible neurological disorders?

Here, neurologist David Schick will answer this question.

The nervous system plays an important role in our body on different scales. As Schick explains, it intervenes in particular on consciousness, wakefulness, sleep, intellectual functions, language or even sensory perceptions. The latter is therefore made up of three parts: the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (cranial nerves and limbs) and the vegetative system (automatic functioning of organs).

What are the symptoms that should prompt to consult this specialist?

Different symptoms can therefore alert you to a neurological disorder. Experienced neurologist, David Schick, recommends consulting a neurologist in case of:

· Violent and recurring migraines (without any conventional treatment working)

· Balance disorders

· Difficulty walking

· Involuntary movements

· Urinary or anal incontinence

· Paralysis

· Tremors

· Sensory or sensory problems (loss of sensitivity of a limb, loss of taste).
