Neurological Disorders

 neurological disorders, physical therapy

The term neurological disorder describes disorders that affect the brain as well as the nerves throughout the human body and spinal cord. Some common examples of neurological conditions are multiple sclerosis, dementia, fibromyalgia, and diabetes to name a few.

 

There is no one specific cause of all neurological disorders, but some causes can include genetic disorders, lifestyle or environmental health problems, and injury to the brain or spine. Symptoms can vary depending on the type of neurological condition and the nerve or nerves affected. Some common symptoms include loss of sensation, pain, poor coordination, loss of muscle coordination, etc.
