Neurology at Arnot Health
People suffering from neurological conditions have complex needs requiring a range of services and support from skilled professionals. The Arnot Health Neurology Program is committed to providing comprehensive care for brain and spine disorders and traumatic injuries, lower-back disorders, and other neurological diseases. We offer a range of diagnostic options, treatment capabilities, and a level of skilled specialty care not available anywhere else in the area.
A neurological condition is a disorder resulting from damage to the brain, spinal cord, or other parts of the nervous system. Sometimes these conditions are present from birth, and others are caused by illness or injury. There are hundreds of neurological conditions, some relatively common, like stroke or multiple sclerosis, and many others that are much rarer. Whatever the case, skilled care can mean the difference between success and suffering.
