Treating the nervous system is unlike treating any other part of the body. Because the brain and nerves control our personality, movement, and senses, the goal of neurological treatment goes beyond just “curing” a disease.
The primary objectives are:
Medications are the first line of defense for the majority of neurological conditions. Neurologists are experts in neuropharmacology, understanding how drugs interact with the brain’s complex chemical signaling.
In the event of an ischemic stroke (a blocked vessel), time is critical.
For epilepsy, the goal is to stabilize the electrical activity in the brain.
While we cannot yet cure diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, we can manage the symptoms.
Thanks to advancements in Interventional Neurology, many conditions that once required open brain surgery can now be treated through a tiny incision in the leg or wrist.
This is a game-changer for severe strokes. If a clot is too big for medication to dissolve, a doctor inserts a catheter into an artery in the groin, threads it up to the brain, and uses a stent-retriever to physically grab and pull the clot out.
An aneurysm is a weak, ballooning spot in a blood vessel. Instead of opening the skull to clip it, specialists can guide a catheter to the aneurysm and fill it with soft platinum coils. This causes the blood to clot and seals off the weak spot, preventing a rupture.
Neurologists do not perform surgery, but they work hand-in-hand with Neurosurgeons. If medication and minimally invasive options fail, surgery may be necessary.
This involves temporarily removing a section of the skull to access the brain. It is used to:
Often called a “pacemaker for the brain,” this is used for advanced Parkinson’s disease or Essential Tremor.
For patients with severe nerve compression (herniated discs or stenosis) causing weakness or paralysis, surgery is performed to remove the bone or disc material pressing on the spinal cord.

Recovery in neurology relies on a biological miracle called Neuroplasticity. This is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. If one part of the brain is damaged, rehabilitation helps healthy parts of the brain take over those functions.
Neurological recovery is rarely a straight line. It is often a marathon, not a sprint.
For many neurological patients, treatment is a lifelong partnership with their neurologist.
A cure eliminates the disease (e.g., removing a benign tumor). Management means the disease is still present, but symptoms are controlled so they don’t disrupt your life (e.g., taking daily pills to stop epilepsy seizures).
It varies by injury. A mild concussion may require 2 weeks of rest. A major stroke may require 3 to 6 months of intensive inpatient rehab, followed by outpatient therapy for a year or more.
Generally, yes. However, all medications have risks. Neurologists carefully weigh the risk of the drug against the risk of the disease. For example, the risk of untreated seizures causing a fall is usually much higher than the risk of medication side effects.
This refers to procedures done through small punctures (usually in the artery of the leg or wrist) using catheters and cameras, rather than opening the skull.
Many people make a full recovery, especially if treated quickly. However, some patients may have lasting effects, such as minor weakness or speech difficulties.
