Dr Salvatore Zavarella, DOs, Neurologists And Neurosurgeons

By Betty Miller


New medical school graduates are becoming more interested in focusing residencies in the area of neurology and neurosurgery. In fact, Dr Salvatore Zavarella is one of a number of DOs whom have now moved into the neurosurgical field of medicine. While this is the case, most DOs, once having met residential requirements in the field of neurology often go on to practice in both areas.

The main difference between Osteopathy and neurology is that neurology is a medicine of the mind and osteopathy, the body. As such, osteopathy has counterparts of chiropractic and Western medicine. Whereas, neurologists are often trying to locate triggers which are causing disturbances in the nervous system.

In most cases, students whom decide to take a residency in neurology have a desire to know more about how the brain and body are connected. For, the brain controls all functions of the body. As such, a number of Doctors of Osteopathy, DOs whom have focused on neurology now practice in both areas.

By focusing on this area, DOs can also become more familiar with different neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and how the conditions effect both brain and bodily functions. After which, it can often be easier when working as a DO to diagnose and treat individuals whom may be experiencing symptoms associated with these conditions. For, when medical professionals know which areas of the body are being effected by the brain and how, it can often be easier to know which type of treatments might work best at the time of diagnosis and in the future.

Beyond the medical aspects, the field of neurology also attracts women as the field offers more reasonable hours than others. In addition, as the field is growing due to the onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as baby boomer's begin to enter old age, the field also offers a great deal of job security in most areas of the United States. As a result, not only baby boomers but others suffering from strokes, seizures and nerve conditions will also benefit from the increase of practitioners in the field of neurology.

As most of these conditions can only be controlled rather than cured, neurologists are now attempting to do so with oral medication. For, while some of the conditions have responded well to medical marijuana, the drug remains illegal in a number of states. As such, a number of individuals have no choice other than to move to a legal medical marijuana state, or try oral medications which have the ability to calm nerves associated with different conditions.

Osteopaths, neurosurgeons and neurologists practicing in the present all have more power and authority when it comes to diagnosing and treating different types of conditions than in the past. For, while most nervous conditions can be controlled with oral medication, cures have yet to be discovered or developed when comes to MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other nerve conditions. Whereas, there are some conditions related to strokes, seizures and sleep disorders which can often be helped by minor or major brain surgery.

Ultimately, medical students either comprehend neuroscience and neurology or otherwise. In most cases, those whom love this aspect of the medical field are often successful as Doctors of Osteopathy, neurologists and neurosurgeons. Whereas, those whom do not have a passion for the neurosciences are lucky neurology is an elective rotation during clinical years rather than a requirement. Otherwise, the field of neurology would most likely be moving backward rather than forward into the future.
