neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of brain, spinal cord, and nervous system diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, alzheimer's disease, headaches, stroke, or injury.

a neurologist can order or interpret tests such as a computed tomography (ct) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (mri), or lumbar puncture to diagnose problems and may conduct tests to evaluate how well a nerve or muscle is working. a neurologist can prescribe medicines to treat diseases or may refer a person to another specialist if needed.

neurologists are certified by the royal college of physicians and surgeons of canada.
