DO and MD neurologists are essentially the same thing- Unless you want to use some of the extra training you receive as a DO.A DO would without a doubt have an edge in functional neurology.

With all due respect to Chiropractors, they aren't physicians or medical practitioners. It's hard to imagine how they could legally effectively treat a neurological disease. Certainly they can't diagnose one- not legally.

Stick with DO or MD. DO sounds like what you want.

@LuckyDukeSeven have you looked into Functional Neurology? there's a nice program for chiropractors that works with some interesting new science... I want to do this but become a DO neurologist instead of a chiropractor so that i actually would SEE neuro patients. all about having options for them. what do you think of this plan?

I like this guy... Very honest face.

@MsVintage007 I would see your family doctor first. A cardiologist sounds a little more subject to cirrcularry problems.  Neurologist are more brain and nervous system

[MsVintage007]

I have parblems with very very poor circulation would I see a Neurologist?

I'm on the fence about psychiatry or neurology. Got a year left till med school, and I am truly stumped, both fields fascinate me..

Could someone help me figure out what's wrong? My symptoms: Tingling in the arms Pain in the left leg going all the way down to my toes Back of neck hurts Tightness of neck and shoulders Blurry vision out of no where Light headed Fluid feeling running down the back of neck I get dizzy Amost like it's hard to focus on one thing. Copper taste in my mouth, Metallic. Body heating up out of nowhere Body feeling like it's paralyzed and I'm going to fall or black out Weakness in my legs numbness

Neurology. You could also try to get into a DO program instead of an MD program, where they'll teach you some extra musculo-skeletal stuff. Although, to be honest, put in work NOW. Study hard. Take lots of sciences. When you get into college, take the hardest professors and DON'T play around. I knew 20 people besides myself trying to get into medical school (which is after college)- only I got in. Everyone else couldn't, or opted for an easier career path.

So work hard kid!

im only a freshman in high school but im considering very seriously what i want to do when im older. Im interested in the medical field and i love learning about the skeletal, nerve system,brain ect. and i really like to help people so i was wondering if there is aby other fields that deal with the skeletal system or nervous system but i would rather not deal with blood and guts any suggestions?
