When is Neurosurgery Recommended?
Surgery may be recommended when other treatments have not relieved your symptoms or when a condition is causing significant risk to your health or quality of life. Our team will work with you to determine if surgical intervention is the right next step in your care.
Our neurosurgeons treat a variety of nervous system conditions, including:
- Back pain due to sprains, strains, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis and herniated disc
- Brain, head and spinal cord injuries such as concussion, brain hemorrhage (bleeding), sports injuries and neck and skull fracture
- Spinal deformities including scoliosis (side to side curve) and kyphosis (forward curve)
- Epilepsy and movement disorders like tremor, dystonia, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
- Hydrocephalus which is a buildup of fluid in the brain that is present at birth or due to brain trauma
- Tumors, cysts and cancer of the spinal cord and brain
- Vascular conditions such as stroke, brain aneurysm, vascular abnormalities and TIA (transient ischemic attack or “mini-stroke”)
