Complete neurological care
The board-certified neurologists and neurosurgeons at Novant Health specialize in diagnosing and treating back and neck pain, headaches, brain injuries and tumors, tremors, multiple sclerosis, and other neurologic conditions.
What Does A Neurologist Do?
Neurologists can help you determine whether symptoms you are experiencing are related to your brain, spine or nervous system and how to treat them. You may get referred to a neurologist if you have experienced:
- Chronic headaches, back or neck pain
- Concussion, stroke or other brain injury
- Tremors or other movement disorders
- Seizures
- Sudden declines in vision or mental acuity, including memory
- Sleep problems

When you begin experiencing tremors or seizures, or are told a mass has shown up in a scan of your brain or spine, you don't want to wait weeks for a diagnosis. And thanks to the multidisciplinary neurology clinics at Novant Health, you don’t have to. To streamline diagnosis and treatment, we locate multiple specialists at our neurology clinics. This not only enhances collaboration among members of your care team, but can reduce your travel time to and from appointments.
Even when the specialists you need to see are at the same location, knowing you are getting the right care can be taxing. Novant Health Neurosciences Institute offers specially trained patient navigators so you or your care givers have a single point of contact to help manage your care and get answers to all your questions.
