Neurological damage refers to injury or changes to the functioning of the brain, spine, or nerves. It can result from a variety of causes, including genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or nerve injury. Neurological damage can lead to a range of symptoms, such as paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain, altered levels of consciousness, and more. Depending on where the damage takes place, communication, vision, hearing, movement, and cognition can be impacted to varying degrees. There are over 600 known neurological conditions, some of which are congenital, some are hereditary, and others have a sudden onset due to injury or illness. Some neurological conditions may be slowly progressive and require a specialist to diagnose and treat.
