Navigating the Nervous System: Neurological Health Advice from Dr. David Schick

Understanding the brain is one of medicine’s greatest challenges—and one of its most crucial frontiers. For over a decade, Dr. David Schick, a board-certified neurologist licensed in New York, has dedicated his life to decoding the complexities of the nervous system and helping patients regain control of their lives.


With a medical degree from Rutgers R. W. Johnson Medical School, followed by advanced training at Beth Israel Medical Center and a fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Schick has become a trusted expert in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders with precision and empathy. His full credentials, certifications, and career background are outlined on his CakeResume profile, where you can explore his experience in both clinical and academic settings.





1. Listen to the Signals Your Body Sends


The nervous system communicates constantly—and when something’s wrong, it often whispers before it screams. Dr. Schick emphasizes the importance of early detection and paying attention to subtle signs, such as:


  • Frequent headaches or sudden migraines
  • Unexplained dizziness or vertigo
  • Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
  • Trouble sleeping or staying awake
  • Memory lapses or confusion


“Don’t ignore recurring symptoms just because they seem minor,” says Dr. Schick. “In neurology, early diagnosis often prevents irreversible progression.”




2. Balance Is More Than Physical


One of the most common complaints Dr. Schick treats is instability—both physical (as in gait and balance disorders) and cognitive (as in attention, orientation, or memory issues). His advice is to see balance holistically.


If you’re struggling with mental fog, disorientation, or frequent falls, your brain could be trying to warn you of a deeper neurological issue. Rather than self-diagnosing, consult a neurologist who can perform proper evaluations and imaging to determine the root cause.


“Your brain coordinates everything—from your movements to your memory. When something feels off, don’t just adapt—investigate.”




3. Tailor Your Treatment, Don’t Tolerate Generic Fixes


Neurological disorders vary widely from patient to patient—even when the symptoms seem similar. Dr. Schick is known for his patient-centered approach, crafting personalized treatment plans based on each individual’s condition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals.


Whether treating epileptic seizures, neuropathic pain, or sleep disturbances, Dr. Schick believes medicine should be adaptive—not one-size-fits-all. His innovative approach to patient care and neuroscience integration is reflected in his professional achievements listed on Crunchbase, where you can track his affiliations and career evolution.


“Neurology is complex—your treatment should reflect that. The goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to restore quality of life.”




4. Stay Educated and Informed


Dr. Schick encourages his patients to be informed and proactive. He regularly speaks at conferences and medical education events, helping both professionals and the public better understand the nervous system. His latest lectures and presentations can be viewed through SpeakerHub, where he shares insights on neurological diagnostics, patient-centered care, and advances in neuroscience.


“The more you understand your brain, the better you can protect it.”




5. Honor Rest and Recovery


One of the most overlooked aspects of neurological health is rest. Dr. Schick emphasizes that sleep is not optional—it’s essential. From memory consolidation to emotional regulation, your brain uses sleep to repair and reorganize.


If you struggle with chronic fatigue, insomnia, or abnormal sleep patterns, don’t write it off as stress. It could be neurological—and highly treatable.



Final Thought: Trust the Process, and Your Neurologist


With accolades like the Patients’ Choice Award and inclusion on the Healthgrades Honor Roll, Dr. David Schick has earned more than just respect—he’s earned trust. His commitment to precision, empathy, and tailored care continues to shape the lives of patients across New York and beyond.


Whether you’re managing chronic migraines or navigating sudden cognitive changes, his advice is simple:


“Respect your nervous system—it’s your body’s command center. And when something’s wrong, don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

Therapeutic Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with abnormal protein modification, inflammation and memory impairment.   In many ways, Alzheimer's can be considered as the epidemic of the 21st century. An entity associated with age and that, according to WHO data, affects around 50 million people worldwide, of which around 60% live in low- and middle-income countries.  About 10 million new cases are registered each year. It is estimated that between 5% and 8% of the general population aged 60 years and older suffer from dementia at any given time. The total number of people with dementia is expected to reach 82 million in 2030 and 152 million in 2050. Much of this increase can be attributed to the fact that in low- and middle-income countries the number of people with dementia will tend to grow increasingly. Alzheimer’s disease is a multifactorial pathology, for which no cure is currently available. To date, we do not have any effective treat...

Neuromuscular Diseases - Diagnosis and Treatment

Image
  Neuromuscular diseases are a group of neurological diseases of a progressive nature whose main characteristic and symptom is loss of strength. It is estimated that there are more than 150 types of neuromuscular diseases, mostly of genetic origin. They are long-term, chronic diseases that cause the loss of the patient's autonomy and usually a great family and social burden. The most common symptoms of these diseases are weakness (eg loss of strength in muscles of the face, neck, arms or legs), altered sensation (eg tingling or numbness) and neuropathic pain or muscular (due to injury to the peripheral nerves or muscles, respectively). Other symptoms may be diplopia (double vision), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), muscle cramps or contractures, or due to autonomic dysfunction. Neuromuscular diseases can appear at any age and can be genetic (caused by DNA alterations) or acquired (caused by immune-mediated, infectious, toxic, metabolic, neurodegenerative or due to compression...

Muscles, nerves, and brain cells—they’re all interconnected to keep you functioning optimally. However, if you have neurological issues like depression, anxiety, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), your nervous system can feel overstimulated. David Schick, a neurologist who for over 11 has been treating patients suffering from a number of mental disorders, shares that there are activities that are proven to improve your neurological health. So what are these activities? They work by focusing on the three aspects of your neurological health: physical fitness, stress management, and mental stimulation. Let’s explore how you can incorporate them into your everyday life to start seeing results today.
