Having a disease is not something someone wishes for. Diseases are usually inevitable and are caused due to many reasons, such as: 

Pollution

Many-Many more because there are various reasons for the above and they cause disorders too. Types Of Diseases In Neurology Disorders related to the brain, spinal cord and nerves falls under the term- Neurology. The term itself sounds serious and so does it is. There are so many diseases associated with it, such as: 

ALS

Brain Aneurysm

Multiple Sclerosis

Parkinson's Disease

Spinal Cord Tumor

Stroke et-cetera

Dr. Philip Leonard: It feels bad to know that people are suffering from such serious diseases, as there is no permanent cure for most of the above mentioned diseases. Half of the diseases in general, are caused due to the not-so-fresh air that we breathe and not-so-clean water that we


drink on a daily basis. In such a polluted environment, neurological disorders have become very common and are increasing the number of patients worldwide at an alarming rate.

Harmful Effects To The Body Neurological disorders trigger other diseases because the brain, spinal cord and nerves basically control every other body organ and part. A single error in the functioning of it might cause severe problems in other body organs, causing the individual to suffer in pain and even cause permanent damage to the body. The treatment of these disorders is very difficult because many times it is not even properly located. The nerves are spread in the whole body and to locate a single nerve which is not working properly is next to impossible. Doctors who treat neurological disorders are known as


neurologists and are responsible to even cure the mind of individuals, whenever needed.

Experts And Treatments Such diseases cannot be taken lightly, which makes it a difficult task to find the best neurologist in the neighborhood. There are many experts and specialists, but finding the right person who can cure the disease is very difficult. The best method is to search the internet and read reviews about the experts written by the general public, usually their patients, to ensure a successful treatment. There are many popular neurologists like Dr Philip J Leonard who specialise in this field. He is not just a neurologist, but also a plastic surgeon. This add-on study enables him to attempt severe surgeries where reconstruction of skin is required, simultaneously dealing with nerves. Conclusion There are millions of methods to treat a single disease, but the expert needs to understand the patient’s body structure and capability, before selecting a method. The treatment might be overly


expensive, too painful for the individual to bear or too dangerous due to other diseases and disorders. At times, the treatments take even months to get completed. During that time, patients need to be observed and administered to avoid adverse effects of the treatments. The most convenient and effective method might also be harmful for someone else, so one should always be careful even while the treatment is going on or completed because of several after-effects.
