Neurologists are medical professionals who can diagnose and treat diseases of the brain and spine. Since neurology covers the whole brain and nervous system, neurologists are trained to diagnose and treat a number of neurological disorders. Many neurologists also study a specific part of neurology after completing their residency training. Some of the conditions neurologist Dr. Dinesh Nayak treats are:

• Epilepsy

The neurologist uses a holistic approach for the treatment of the diseases and goes through the medical history of patients to know the cause of the illness. The neurological conditions are either infections (caused by fungus, virus, bacteria) or cancer. The risk of getting infected with these diseases increases with age.
