Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems (and their subdivisions, the autonomic and somatic nervous systems), including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle. Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, which is the scientific study of the nervous system. Neurologists may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, and basic or translational research. Dr. Pagani has also received specialized training in pain management, which allows him to assess and treat back and neck pain in patients. He is a Diplomate of the Academy of Integrative Pain Management, which gives him the ability to consistently learn and refine his practice. In addition to English, Dr. Pagani also speaks Spanish with his patients.
