What We Treat

Cone Health Pediatric Neurologists diagnose, treat, and manage conditions such as:

Concussion
Developmental delays and disorders
Epilepsy
Headaches, including migraines
Muscle weakness
Seizures
Tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome

We will help you get an accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan to help your child meet the goals you set together. Depending on your child’s specific condition, your doctor may recommend:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) interpretations
Intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy℠ – Reduces muscle stiffness and tightness with medication delivered by an implanted medical device (baclofen pump)
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) – Takes a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to help diagnose nervous system disorders or other conditions
Neurological evaluations – Evaluates your child’s central nervous system through a series of tests, most of which are painless and performed in the physician’s office
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS Therapy®) – Uses an implanted device to prevent seizures
