Neurology

DCMH offers comprehensive treatment for neurological disorders in Decatur County. Our providers diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, and the involuntary nervous system that controls the heart, lungs and other organs.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like chronic headaches, dizziness, numbness, memory issues, or muscle weakness – consider asking your primary care provider for a referral to our neurologists.

 

What is the Difference Between a Neurologist and a Neurosurgeon?

Both specialties diagnose and treat conditions of the nervous system, often collaborating to determine if surgical intervention is the most appropriate treatment option.

  • Neurologists may treat conditions such as epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, and seizures.
  • Neurosurgeons may discuss surgical options with you.

While both neurologists and neurosurgeons focus on the same organ, neurologists typically use non-operative methods, including medications, whereas neurosurgeons manage medical conditions and perform surgery when necessary.
