When you breathe, think, laugh or lift your finger, your brain and nerves are communicating through electrical impulses transmitted by nerve cells. Neurology involves your entire nervous system - the internal wiring that controls your body's function and movement. When an illness or injury disrupts the proper working of this complex system, chances are you'll need to see a neurologist.

Dr. Yu has a special interest in neuromodulation, which attacks pain at the source using tiny implantable devices. Placed on the right nerve, the devices can potentially offer a drastic and permanent reduction in pain. Dr. Yu used the technique with great success on San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana.
