What does a neurologist do for leg/back pain and balance issues due to a fall?

useful question: Many neurologists do rehabilitation correlating information on nerve ; muscle injury with orthopedic problems. Imperative to uncover what specific area of body was injured, extent, and associated problems. This enhances efficiency of rehab programs, as different problems respond to specific approaches. My colleagues can readily improve outcomes by their diagnostic skills.

Pain after a fall: Neurologists are usually the detectors of the location from where problems stem. So, depending on the cause of the fall, pattern of the back pain and relation to the limb pain, we can figure out how the problem started and then secure the best fix(-es).
