Neurology
The neurology department at North Okaloosa Medical Center provides care for patients who have a medical condition that impacts the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. Providers offer care including extensive diagnostic capabilities, advanced treatment and recovery services.
A neurological problem can have a range of symptoms that affects your daily life. Neurological disorders can be present at birth, or they can occur due to illness or traumatic injury. There are a number of possible symptoms ranging from impaired ability to speak or walk to severe pain or even tumors. Any condition that prevents the brain from properly communicating with other parts of the body, or even within itself, may need to be assessed by a neurologist.
