Millions of Americans struggle with chronic pain conditions, particularly debilitating headaches. While headaches are common and often dismissed as normal occurrences, they can range from stress-related tension to symptoms of serious neurological diseases. Causes vary widely, from overwork and stress to underlying medical conditions. When conventional treatments fail, many neurologists recommend nerve blocks for headaches….

Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of Americans, causing nerve damage that significantly impacts daily life. When nerves in the feet become damaged, sensation diminishes or becomes distorted, making each step unpredictable. This loss of feeling dramatically increases the risk of numb feet and fall risk for serious injuries. For people with diabetic neuropathy, these risks are…

As parents, we are hardwired to worry. Every fever, scrape, or stumble can send our minds racing. But when it comes to a child’s development and nervous system, distinguishing between regular growing pains and a medical concern can be difficult. While pediatricians are fantastic at handling general health, there are times when a child needs…

Over the last few years, the way we work has changed, typically faster than our bodies can adapt. We traded long commutes for the convenience of the home office, but for many, that “office” is a kitchen table, a soft couch, or a desk that isn’t quite the right height. At Lone Star Neurology, we…

When neurologic symptoms appear, many patients aren’t sure what to expect next. Your primary care doctor might mention imaging, a friend might talk about getting an EEG test, and online searches often create more confusion than clarity. Patients frequently ask which brain scan they need and why one test is chosen over another. The choice…

Many patients aren’t sure which doctor to see when symptoms point to the brain or spine. Headaches, numbness, weakness, back pain, or memory changes can be frightening, especially when you don’t know which specialist can help. One of the most common questions is whether you need a neurologist or a neurosurgeon. The confusion makes sense…

Head injuries in elderly adults are never something to brush aside. What might look like a minor bump or brief fall can turn into a serious medical problem days later. Aging changes the brain, blood vessels, and recovery process in ways that make seniors far more vulnerable to complications after head trauma. Families often assume…

Chronic neck pain and chronic back pain are among the most common reasons people seek medical care. Many patients are told their discomfort comes from muscle strain, poor posture, or age-related wear and tear. While those factors can certainly play a role, they don’t explain every case. Pain that lasts for months, keeps coming back,…
