Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that affects sleep and causes an overwhelming urge to move one's legs.
A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which include disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. This specialist is responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases such as migraine, epilepsy, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, among others. Additionally, the neurologist performs neurological tests, such as electroencephalograms (EEG) and MRIs, to evaluate the function and structure of the nervous system. It is advisable to see a neurologist if symptoms such as persistent headache, seizures, muscle weakness, balance disturbances or changes in cognitive function occur.
A general practitioner is a physician or family doctor who is responsible for diagnosing and prescribing medical treatments for patients. It also manages comprehensive healthcare, performing routine checkups, providing preventative advice, and managing a wide variety of health conditions. When a patient requires specific or specialized treatment, the general practitioner refers him or her to a specialist. Her role is essential in coordinating medical care, ensuring that patients receive adequate and ongoing care to maintain their health.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats restless leg syndrome you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
