Neurological Examination
     The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves make up the nervous system.  This system is unique in that, unlike many other parts of the body, it cannot be directly examined, nor can abnormalities be readily detected with routine laboratory tests.
     The purpose of a neurological examination performed by a board certified neurologist is to determine whether the problem affecting the patient is neurological in origin, where in the nervous system the problem has occurred and which of a number of possible diseases is causing the clinical signs.  This information enables more appropriate selection of diagnostic tests, treatment regimen and more accurate prognosis for recovery.
