A neurological disorder may be caused by an infection, lack of blood supply, and inflammation. It may also be cancer-related or degenerative. Neurologists treat disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, which include the following:
* muscle disorders and pain
* headache and facial pain
* epilepsy and dizzy turns
* neuritis
* brain and spinal cord tumours
* multiple sclerosis
* Parkinson’s disease
* stroke
* sleep disorders
* muscular disease
* dementia

Treatment of neurological disorders |
While neurological disorders are usually treated with pharmaceutical drugs, natural therapy may be an alternative treatment or be used to complement your neurologist’s treatment plan. Some neurological cases are caused or aggravated by nutritional deficiencies. A naturopath may take the approach of proper nutrition, supplementation and natural methods to treat the cause of a neurological disease.
For example, studies show that low Vitamin-D intake increases the risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis. If detected at an early stage, therapeutic supplementation and other therapies may stop the progression of multiple sclerosis. Other conditions that may be treated with natural therapies include autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), migraine or headaches, vertigo or dizziness, sleep disorders and Parkinson’s disease. |
