What do our providers treat?
Multiple Sclerosis
MS is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves. In MS, resulting nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body. Multiple sclerosis causes many different symptoms, including vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination.
Our providers are able to diagnose and with proper treatment, help you continue to lead a more normalized life.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury is a sudden injury that causes damage to the brain. Traumatic brain injuries can occur from a bump, hard jolt, or blow to the head. It can also occur when an object penetrates the skull and into the brain. There is a wide range of symptoms associated with TBI and some may be delayed in presenting. If you suspect a TBI, call us and let us help you navigate your new challenges.
Movement Disorders
The term movement disorders refers to a group of nervous system (neurological) conditions that cause either increased movements or reduced or slow movements. They can be either voluntary or involuntary in nature. Learn how our providers can help you today.

ME/CFS is classified as a neurological disease.

More common, affecting more than 200,000 people in the US alone annually. If this sounds like symptoms you are noticing, call us today to see how we can help.
Migraine and Headache disorders
Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease. It affects each person differently with a wide range of disease severity. Some have infrequent attacks, but others may have frequent disabling attacks. Collectively headache disorders are among the most common of the nervous system disorders, with a prevalence of 48.9% in the general population. If this is something you have been experiencing, talk to your primary care about a referral to neurology to see if we can help put an end to the migraines.
Alzheimer and Dementia
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases.
Alzheimer's has no cure, but there is a new treatment that has shown some very encouraging results, lecanemab (Leqembi®) — demonstrating that by removing beta-amyloid, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, from the brain reduces cognitive and functional decline in people living with early Alzheimer’s.
