Neurological Conditions We Evaluate and Manage

Neurological symptoms can have different causes. Our neurologist reviews your symptoms and medical history to determine whether further testing, treatment or a specialist referral is appropriate.

Headaches and Migraines

We evaluate recurring headaches and migraines, including changes in their frequency, severity and effect on daily life. Your consultation may include a review of symptoms, possible triggers and previous treatments.

Neuropathy, Numbness and Tingling

Burning pain, pins and needles, reduced sensation or weakness may be associated with peripheral nerve problems. A neurological assessment can help investigate the cause and determine whether nerve testing is appropriate.

Our neurologist evaluates seizures and concerns about epilepsy, reviews relevant medical records and recommends further investigation or management when appropriate.

Tremors, Balance and Movement Problems

Tremors, changes in walking and difficulties with coordination may need neurological assessment. We evaluate these symptoms and discuss suitable next steps based on the examination findings.

Neurological Symptoms After an Injury

Head, neck and back injuries can be accompanied by headaches, dizziness, numbness or weakness. We assess neurological concerns following motor vehicle collisions, workplace accidents and other injuries.

Neurological Examinations and Diagnostic Testing

Your consultation begins with a review of your symptoms and medical history. A neurological examination may assess strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination, balance and other functions relevant to your concerns.

Further testing is recommended only when it can help answer a clinical question.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Electromyography and nerve conduction studies can help assess muscle and peripheral nerve function. Your neurologist may recommend them when investigating symptoms such as numbness, tingling or weakness.

MRI and Other Imaging

Imaging may be recommended when your symptoms or examination suggest that further assessment of the brain or spine is needed. The type of scan depends on the clinical concern.

Additional Investigations

Depending on your symptoms, further investigations may include an EEG, blood tests or referral for another specialist assessment. Our team will explain why a test is being recommended and how it may inform your care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neurology Care

Do I Need a Referral to Book a Neurology Appointment?

Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Contact your insurer or our office before booking to check whether a referral is required and whether the consultation is covered.

What Should I Bring to My First Appointment?

Bring your identification, insurance card, current medication list and relevant medical records. Previous imaging reports, scan images and neurological test results may also be useful. For an injury-related claim, ask our office which claim details or documents are needed.

Can I Book an Appointment for Numbness or Tingling?

Persistent or recurring numbness and tingling may warrant an assessment. Our neurologist can review your symptoms and determine whether nerve testing or another investigation is appropriate. Sudden numbness or weakness, particularly on one side of the body, needs emergency assessment.

Will I Need an MRI, EMG or EEG?

Not every patient needs diagnostic testing. Your neurologist recommends investigations based on your symptoms, medical history and examination findings. We explain the purpose of a recommended test and the arrangements needed.

Can You Assess Symptoms After a Car Accident or Workplace Injury?

We evaluate neurological concerns following injuries, including headaches, dizziness, numbness and weakness. Tell our team about the injury and any related claim when requesting your appointment. Severe or sudden symptoms require urgent medical assessment.

Will Testing Happen During My First Visit?

This depends on the investigation, appointment availability and any insurance authorisation required. Ask our office about testing arrangements before your visit. Do not assume every recommended test will take place on the same day.

How Much Does a Neurology Consultation Cost?

The amount you pay depends on your insurance benefits or the practice’s self-pay fee. Diagnostic tests may be charged separately. Contact our office for current fees and coverage-verification guidance.
