Neurology

USA Health is proud to be home to the new Kelly Butler ALS Center, a multidisciplinary clinic where patients can meet with professionals from a variety of disciplines during a single appointment.

USA Health provides a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Through SouthCEP, our Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, USA Health neurologists offer diagnosis, medical management, surgery and investigative therapies to individuals with epilepsy.

Our multiple sclerosis care is led by neurologists who are experts in the diagnoses and management of multiple sclerosis.

The Neuromuscular Disorders Program at USA Health offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to the diagnosis and management of these complex conditions.

We use a multidisciplinary approach to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, tremors, dystonia, Tourette’s syndrome and restless leg syndrome.

We have three pediatric neurologists on staff who treat both common and rare neurological issues that children face, including epilepsy, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and more.

USA Health provides the region's most advanced stroke care at the Stroke Center on our University Hospital campus. If you or someone you know is having stroke symptoms, call 911 immediately.

Alzheimer’s is a specific kind of dementia marked by a progressive loss of memory and other cognitive abilities.

This condition results from a weakened blood vessel in the brain that begins to bulge. If the vessel bursts, it can cause a life-threatening stroke that requires immediate medical attention.

Abnormal growths of tissue on the central spine or brain may be benign or malignant. If the tumor is malignant, we partner with the cancer specialists at Mitchell Cancer Institute for treatment.

In this neurological disorder, brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures, periods of unusual behavior and sometimes loss of awareness.

Any of a group of neurological disorders—such as Parkinson's disease—marked by abnormal, uncontrolled movements in a person’s body may be classified as movement disorders.

With this chronic disease, the body’s immune system attacks the layer of tissue that protects nerve fibers. The damage that occurs prevents the brain from properly sending signals throughout the body.

This group of disorders affect the nerve cells, or neurons, that control voluntary muscle movement. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one such disease.

While there is no cure for Parkinson's, a long-term degenerative movement disorder that affects the central nervous system, we offer treatment to improve symptoms.

Damage to the spinal cord, resulting from physical trauma or non-traumatic causes such as infections, can affect temporary or permanent symptoms that vary from numbness to paralysis.

The most severe type of stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures. It may be caused by an aneurysm or an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

Accounting for over 85 percent of all strokes, ischemic strokes result from blockages, such as a clot, in a vessel that supplies blood to the brain.

These vascular anomalies are present at birth and occur when veins or vessels cluster abnormally. They can show up at different ages.
