Pediatric Neurology

Neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders in the brain and nervous system. Some of the conditions our neurologists see pediatric patients for include headaches, seizure disorders and epilepsy.

Conditions Treated

A few common conditions treated include:

• Dizziness and vertigo

• Developmental delays

• Congenital birth defects

• Epilepsy and seizure disorders

• Headaches and migraines

• Movement disorders, including essential tremor, dystonia and cerebral palsy

• Muscle weakness and/or muscle loss, including muscular dystrophy

• Multiple sclerosis

• Tourette’s syndrome and tics

Treatments & Tests

A few common tests and treatments include:

• Treatment plans for neurologic conditions including movement disorders, muscle weakness and pain or weakness from nerve damage

• Headache diagnosis and treatments

• Pediatric electroencephalograms (EEGs)

• Injections for spasticity, or tight or stiff muscles

Our team can review the results of past MRIs and CTs as part of your child’s care plan and for further treatment recommendations. At this time, we are unable to perform nerve conduction studies (NCS) or electromyography (EMG).

Our Providers

Our team includes fellowship-trained neurology, neuro-critical care and neurosurgery specialists (fellowship training is additional advanced training in a specific field of study). Because neurological conditions can affect every area of the body, we provide team-based care and treatment plans to help patients recover. This team can also provide extra support for your child’s health needs, including behavioral health services.
