Most common neurological diseases and their symptoms

Neurological diseases are among the most common health problems that can significantly affect quality of life. Many of them manifest as headaches, back pain or movement disorders. Early diagnosis by a neurologist is crucial, because the sooner treatment begins, the better the patient's prognosis.

Migraine and headaches

Migraine is more than just an "ordinary headache". It is a chronic disease that can cause:

• Intense throbbing pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sensitivity to light and sounds

A neurologist will make the correct diagnosis and set up treatment that can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.

Back pain and discs

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a neurologist. It can be caused by:

• Intervertebral disc herniation
• Degenerative changes of the spine
• Scoliosis or poor posture

Typical symptoms are:

• Pain radiating to limbs
• Reduced sensitivity
• Muscle weakness

A neurologist will recommend conservative treatment (rehabilitation, infusion therapy, injections), or indicate surgical intervention.

Stroke

Stroke is among the most serious acute neurological diseases. Symptoms:

• Sudden weakness or paralysis of limb
• Speech disorder
• Drooping of mouth corner
• Loss of stability

Immediate medical attention is life-saving – early treatment significantly reduces the risk of permanent consequences.

Epilepsy and seizures

Epilepsy is a chronic nervous system disease that manifests as recurrent seizures. Modern treatment can stabilize most patients and allow them a full life.

Entrapment syndromes (e.g. carpal tunnel)

This disease occurs due to nerve compression in a narrow space, most commonly in the wrist area. Symptoms:

• Tingling and numbness in fingers
• Weakening of hand strength
• Pain worsening at night

A neurologist will recommend conservative treatment or surgical intervention.
