What investigations fall under neurology?
At Doctor's House Antverpia, we perform various neurological examinations to assess your health. The choice of examination depends on your symptoms, history and risk factors. We always adopt a personalised approach, paying attention to comfort and peace of mind.
Anamnesis
The doctor questions your symptoms, medical history, medication and family burden. This conversation forms the basis for a targeted neurological examination.
Clinical research
The doctor examines your nervous system through tests for muscle strength, reflexes, coordination and sensation. This helps detect neurological abnormalities and make an accurate diagnosis.
Laboratory research
Through blood or urine tests, we chart parameters such as inflammatory levels, vitamins, thyroid function and immunological markers. This can help detect or rule out certain neurological causes.
EEG
This test measures the brain's electrical activity via electrodes on the skull. It is used in epilepsy, disorders of consciousness or sleep.
EMG
Fine needles and light current pulses are used to assess muscle and nerve function. This test is useful for muscle weakness, tingling or radiating pain.
When is a consultation with the neurologist appropriate?
A neurological examination is indicated for persistent or distressing symptoms such as:
Headaches and migraines - Regular or severe headache, possibly indicative of migraine or tension headache. Dizziness and balance problems - Complaints caused by the balance organ or nervous system. Tingling and sensation disorders - In hands, feet or limbs; may indicate nerve damage or neuropathy. Memory and concentration problems - When dementia or other cognitive disorders are suspected. Epilepsy and seizures - Sudden loss of consciousness, muscle jerks or uncontrolled movements. Movement disorders - Trembling, stiffness or unwanted movements, as in Parkinson's disease. Sleep problems - Chronic insomnia or restless legs may be neurological in nature. Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases - Multiple sclerosis (MS) or other autoimmune diseases - Fatigue, muscle weakness and coordination problems. Brain attack or stroke - Sudden paralysis, speech problems or vision loss require immediate medical attention.
Quick recognition, targeted approach
Many neurological disorders can be better treated if detected early. Timely follow-up is crucial, especially with risk factors such as heredity, high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic stress. Consider a neurological examination in case of persistent or recurrent symptoms. In this way, serious damage can be prevented.
How does a neurology consultation take place?
1. Intake & Anamnesis
A neurological consultation starts with an intake interview. The doctor or nurse will ask specific questions about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and any medication use. Think about symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory problems, tingling or muscle weakness. This is how we get a complete picture of your neurological health.
2. Investigate
Depending on your symptoms, technical or clinical examinations will follow. These may include a neurological physical examination, an EEG, EMG or imaging such as an MRI. These examinations help to map the nervous system and detect possible conditions such as epilepsy, MS or neuropathy in time.
3. Discussion & Advice
The doctor will discuss the results with you and, if necessary, draw up a treatment plan. This may include medication, lifestyle advice or a referral for further follow-up. Your medical report becomes available via eHealth or CoZo within a few working days. We take the time to explain everything clearly and answer your questions.
