What

What is Neurology?

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the nervous system and the treatment of diseases and disorders that affect it. Some of the conditions that are associated with the field of neurology are multiple sclerosis, migraine headaches, brain tumors, epilepsy, stokes, aneurysms, muscular dystrophy, spinal disorders, and peripheral nerve injury. Because the nervous system affects many parts of the body, Dr. Sun also cares for patients with complex illnesses, such as cancer and diabetes.
