At your appointment, you and a specialist will have an in-depth discussion about your back, head and/or neck problems. Be sure to use this visit to describe current symptoms and family health history, as well as ask questions about diagnosis, treatments and recovery steps.
Nonsurgical methods, such as physical therapy, medications and injections, are possible options for treatment. Sometimes surgery is best. Whatever your situation, count on us to meet your needs.
A correct diagnosis is essential for you to receive the right treatment. As you begin your treatment plan, follow-up appointments will monitor how well current treatments are working.
Depending on your diagnosis, we may recommend an evaluation with a surgeon. If surgery is necessary, your neurosurgeon and entire care team are there to educate and guide you on what to expect before and after the procedure.
Surgeons operate on complex and common disorders for patients of all ages, including children in need of pediatric neurosurgery. They use image guidance in real time to accurately position surgical instruments and see exactly where a lesion or tumor is located.
Rest assured our expert neurosurgeons stay in safe areas with smaller incisions, resulting in less trauma to the patient. During surgery, your care team uses advanced monitoring and imaging technology — like real-time brain monitoring and angiograms — to guide every move with accuracy. That means a safer procedure and a quicker recovery.
After a neurocritical care patient has received minimally invasive brain or spine care or surgery, they will recover in an inpatient unit under the supervision of our neurocritical care team. We will closely monitor neurological status, vital signs and more following your procedure.
Your doctor and care team will explain what to expect and recommend the best recovery plan for your situation. Physical medicine and rehabilitation care may follow to help restore speech, movement or vision as best as possible.
