Neurological Conditions We Treat
The nervous system is complex, affecting all parts of the body through an intricate network of nerves and messengers. The various parts of the nervous system can be impacted by disease or injury, causing conditions such as:
- Back and neck pain (also called spine pain)
- Brain aneurysms
- Brain/spinal cord tumors
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Degenerative disc disease
- Glioblastomas
- Intracerebral hemorrhage
- Peripheral nerve damage
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Vascular disorders
NGHS neurosurgeons treat these neurologic conditions and others, both as scheduled procedures and on an emergency basis for life-threatening issues such as aneurysms or stroke.
Neurosurgery Procedures Offered
NGHS neurosurgeons are experienced in performing both open (traditional) procedures and minimally invasive procedures to correct neurologic conditions. While minimally invasive surgery isn’t an option for every type of surgery or every patient, it’s increasingly possible for many neurosurgery procedures.
