Together, your brain, spinal cord and nerves control how your body works. When something goes wrong with your nervous system, you may have trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, learning and remembering.
If you or loved one is suffering a nervous system (neurologic) disorder, your doctor might recommend rehabilitation therapy as part of your care and recovery. This usually includes physical, occupational and speech therapy.
There are many neurologic diseases, but some of the most common include:
Diseases caused by faulty genes, such as Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy
Diseases of the blood vessels that supply the brain, such as stroke
Injuries to the spinal cord and brain
Cancer, such as brain tumors
