Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. A neurologist diagnoses and manages conditions like epilepsy, migraines, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and nerve pain — typically using medications, therapy, or non-surgical approaches.

Neurosurgery, on the other hand, is a specialized surgical field that focuses on the treatment of neurological disorders through operations. Neurosurgeons perform procedures such as brain tumor removal, spinal surgery, treatment for head injuries, and minimally invasive surgeries for herniated discs or nerve compression.
