Neurological Evaluation
A Neurological Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of the nervous system, conducted by a neurologist. It involves a detailed review of symptoms, medical history, and a physical exam assessing reflexes, strength, coordination, sensation, and cognitive function.
​
Additional diagnostic tests, such as MRI, CT scan, EEG, or EMG, may be ordered to evaluate brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerve function.
When is a Neurological Evaluation needed?
This assessment is essential for patients who:
-
Have sustained a concussion, brain injury, or spinal trauma,
-
Experience numbness, weakness, tremors, or seizures,
-
Report memory loss, dizziness, or changes in behavior,
-
Are recovering from strokes or neurological illnesses,
-
Need expert diagnosis and supporting documentation.
Importance of a Neurological Evaluation
Neurological Evaluations provide critical insight into brain and nerve function after injury or illness. They are key in diagnosing neurological conditions, guiding rehabilitation, and supporting treatment decisions and any claims.
