Looking for a brain doctor, nerve doctor or headache specialist? A neurologist is the medical term for a brain and nerve doctor who treats conditions like migraines, severe headaches, epilepsy, seizures, stroke, Parkinson's disease, memory problems and nerve pain. If you are experiencing frequent headaches, numbness, weakness or loss of balance, a neurologist is the right doctor. In India, a qualified brain doctor holds MBBS, MD (General Medicine) and DM (Neurology). A neurologist manages conditions with medicine, while a neurosurgeon handles brain surgery. For stroke care, look for a hospital with a dedicated stroke unit.
