What a neurological exam is
A neurological exam is a hands-on check of how well your brain, spinal cord and nerves are working. Your provider tests your mental status, cranial nerves (vision, eye movement, face and swallowing), strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination and walking. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes and needs no special equipment.
The exam helps separate problems that can be managed in primary care, such as tension headaches, migraine, vitamin deficiencies or a pinched nerve, from those that need a neurologist or urgent imaging. If a specialist is needed, we refer you and share the findings so your first specialist visit is productive.
- Mental status, speech and memory screening
- Cranial nerve, strength, reflex and sensation testing
- Coordination, balance and gait assessment
- Blood tests such as B12, thyroid and blood sugar when symptoms suggest them
Reasons for a neurological exam
These symptoms are common and often have treatable causes. Sudden or severe versions are emergencies (see below).
Headaches & migraine
Recurring or changing headaches, with a plan for prevention and relief.

History
When symptoms started, how they have changed, what makes them better or worse, and your medicines.
Exam
A structured check of mental status, cranial nerves, strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination and gait.
Tests if needed
Blood work for reversible causes, and imaging or specialist referral when the exam points to it.
Plan
Treatment started in primary care when appropriate, or a referral to neurology with your findings attached.
Why a primary care neurological exam is a good first step
Many neurological symptoms have causes that primary care can find and treat: low B12, an underactive thyroid, poorly controlled diabetes, medication side effects, anxiety, dehydration or a pinched nerve from the neck or back. Starting here means faster answers, and a clear referral when a neurologist is needed.
What we do in the office
- Full neurological exam and vital signs, including blood pressure lying and standing when dizziness is the complaint
- Blood tests such as B12, thyroid, blood sugar and electrolytes
- Medication review, since many drugs cause dizziness, tremor or confusion
- Referral for MRI, CT, EEG, EMG or nerve studies when the exam calls for them
What needs the emergency room, not an office visit
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side, face drooping or slurred speech (possible stroke): call 911
- The worst headache of your life, or a headache with fever and stiff neck
- A seizure, fainting with injury, or confusion that came on suddenly
- A head injury with vomiting, drowsiness or worsening headache

Voss Family Clinic accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ambetter, Medicare and Medicare-Medicaid dual plans.
