Neurology is a specialty of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diverse medical conditions associated with the central nervous system (brain, and the spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves that lies outside the spinal cord and the brain, connecting the CNS with the entire human body).
Neurology is characterized as a nonsurgical department, whilst the neurological branch of medicine specialized in surgery is known as neurosurgery.
The doctor of Neurology, also known as a Neurologist, is a specialist trained in the management and nonsurgical treatment of the conditions, illnesses and injuries that affect the human nervous system and in turn disrupts the normal functioning of the body.
Avivo Health Group has established a network of clinics and hospitals offering Neurology services in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Our specialists aim to provide a broad approach for the examination and management of the Neurological illnesses with comprehensive and effective diagnostic and treatment procedures.

Neurology is a wide specialty of medicine because the human nervous system is the most complex system of human body. Our Neurologists have their interests divided into different subspecialties.

Our Neurology departments located in the clinics and hospitals in UAE takes the assistance of a number of diagnostic and assessment procedures to identify the patient’s correct disorder and eliminate all other suspicions they were lead to, due to the array of similar symptoms.
Electromyography is a Neurological examination technique which measures the electrical activity between a peripheral nerve found in your limb (hand or leg) and the CNS. This nervous connection helps in the coordinal movement of muscles, and any non-connectivity found in the electrical activity can show signs of spinal cord disease or general nerve dysfunction.
During EEG, the electrical activity in the patient’s brain is measured and examined, via electrodes that are applied on the patient’s scalp. EEG is the diagnostic technique used for the identification of brain tumors, brain injuries, inflammation in the brain, signs of seizures and psychiatric diseases.
Lumbar Puncture is an assessment procedure that is used when our Neurologist’s assume that the patient’s condition relates to the spinal fluid, meaning that either the condition can be detected via the fluid or treated by its medical manipulation. During this test, a needle is inserted in the patient’s spinal cord to extract a small amount of the fluid, which is sent as a sample to the laboratory for further examination.
Tensilon Test is a diagnostic approach that lies under the expertise of a neuromuscular Neurologist, to diagnose the disease named Myasthenia Gravis. A Neurologist will inject the patient with a chemical called Tensilon, after which the effect on muscles is observed, and detected whether the weakness in the muscle is a result of the disease.
Other imaging techniques like CT scan, PET scan or MRIs, and Angiography tests are also used to diagnose for Neurological Disorders, by our Neurologists or our primary care physicians.
