What is Neurosurgery?
Neurological surgery is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with disorders or injuries affecting the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. A neurological surgeon may provide either surgical or non-surgical care, depending upon the nature of the injury or illness.
Injuries to the head, spinal cord, or nerves may require neurosurgical treatment. Neurosurgeons also care for patients with tumors of the brain or spinal cord. Common problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome are treated as well.
Perhaps the most common condition that neurosurgeons treat is pain in the neck or lower back. Some of these symptoms may be treated non-surgically through medication or therapy. Osteoporotic fractures of the spine are also treated with new procedures.
Neurosurgeons care for patients with a wide range of neurosurgical diagnoses, including:
Radiosurgical Care
We offer the newest and most advanced radiosurgical care for patients with brain and spine tumors thanks to our partnership with the University Cancer and Blood Center.
New to the Athens area, ExacTrac® Image-Guided Radiation Therapy gives us the capability to target tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy. This means one-time treatment of many brain or spinal tumors with no incision and no hospital, getting patients back to their lives right away.
This is truly one of the most state-of-the-art cancer treatment technologies available, and we are so pleased to offer this uniquely precise, minimally invasive care to our community.
