Neurology
The human nervous system helps control how we interpret the world around us, as well as how we react — both voluntarily and involuntarily. A neurological injury or condition can affect anything from our motor skills to our moods and memory, which makes accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of utmost importance if symptoms should appear.
The Ochsner Neuroscience Institute’s reputation for comprehensive, clinical care has made it a nationwide destination center for patients with neurological conditions. Ochsner’s expert neurology team specializes in a wide range of treatments for adult and pediatric neurological conditions, including outpatient rehabilitation for nerve disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, self-care education techniques for chronic headaches, and an innovative, minimally invasive therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
