Memory Disorder Evaluations
While some degree of forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, ongoing or worsening memory problems may indicate a more serious cognitive condition. Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders often begin with subtle changes in memory, problem-solving, or communication. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, we understand the importance of addressing these concerns early. Our memory evaluations are designed to go beyond basic screenings, helping identify underlying issues and providing patients and families with answers and direction.
Why Early Evaluation Matters
Early detection of memory disorders can make a significant difference in long-term outcomes. Identifying changes in cognitive function allows patients to access care, support, and treatment options sooner. This can slow progression, improve quality of life, and provide valuable time for planning and support.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach
Our memory disorder evaluations combine neurocognitive testing, advanced brain imaging, and in-depth clinical assessments. We assess multiple areas of brain function, including memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills. This thorough approach helps us distinguish between normal age-related changes and more serious conditions that require medical management. Our evaluations can also detect memory loss related to stroke, brain injury, or medication effects, ensuring a complete understanding of each individual’s situation.
Personalized Care and Support
Following the evaluation, our specialists review the findings with the patient and their family, discussing both the results and recommended next steps. If a memory disorder is diagnosed, we provide guidance on treatment options, lifestyle changes, and available support resources. Even if the evaluation rules out serious conditions, we can offer strategies to help improve memory function and maintain cognitive health.
