Specialist Medical Field / Neurology

Neurology treats disorders of the nervous system.

A distinction is made here between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and the spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system encompasses the entire nervous system outside the CNS and innervates the musculature, the skin, the blood vessels and the internal organs.

For more detailed information on a specific disease, take a look at the subsection on "Diagnostics" – which not only explains instrumental and other diagnostic methods of treatment, but also gives you access to our search engine.

Depending on the development and degree of severity of an illness, three phases of rehabilitation are distinguished:

• The phase of early rehabilitation
• The phase of advanced rehabilitation
• The phase of follow-up therapy
