Muscle disorders and pain
Headache
Epilepsy or other seizure disorders
Neuritis and neuropathy
Brain and spinal cord tumors
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson disease and other movement disorders
Stroke

The neurologist sees patients with a wide range of problems. They may act as a patient's main provider or as a consultant. The family healthcare provider (primary care provider) is generally in charge of a patient's total healthcare.
