September is World Alzheimer’s Month—a time to build greater understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and the advances changing how we think about risk, detection and treatment.

Neurological care isn't one-size-fits-all.

Some neurological conditions affect men and women differently—from who is more likely to develop the condition to how symptoms first appear. Understanding these differences is one more way neurologists can provide personalized care.

Living with Parkinson's doesn't mean giving up the activities you love—it may simply mean approaching them differently.

People living with Parkinson's often find success by adapting their routines rather than stopping altogether. Whether it's walking instead of running, using an e-bike, joining a boxing class, strength training, or exercising with friends, staying active looks different for everyone.
The key is finding activities you enjoy, listening to your body, and staying consistent.

Remember, progress isn't always measured by distance or intensity—sometimes it's simply about continuing to move forward, one step at a time.

If you're living with Parkinson's disease, talk with your neurologist about developing an activity plan that's safe, enjoyable and tailored to your needs.

Taking medication for headaches may seem like the right solution—but using certain pain relievers too often can actually lead to medication overuse headache, a condition where headaches become more frequent or harder to control.

If you're reaching for headache medication several days a week or finding that your headaches keep coming back, it may be time to talk with a neurologist.

Dr. Lauren Aymen of MIND's Headache & Facial Pain Center specializes in identifying the underlying cause of headaches and creating personalized treatment plans that go beyond symptom relief.

You don't have to live with chronic headaches. The right diagnosis can make all the difference.

MYTH: Summer heat doesn't affect nerve pain.
FACT: For many people living with neuropathy or chronic nerve pain, hot and humid weather can make symptoms feel worse.

Heat may contribute to:
• Increased burning or tingling sensations
• Swelling that places added pressure on nerves
• Dehydration, which may intensify symptoms

If you're noticing more discomfort during the summer months, try staying well hydrated, limiting time outdoors during the hottest part of the day and talking with your neurologist if symptoms become more frequent or severe.
