Specializing in Neck & Back Surgery
Neurological surgery is a discipline of medicine and that specialty of surgery which deals with the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of disorders of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, including their supporting structures and vascular supply; and the evaluation and treatment of pathological processes which modify function or activity of the nervous system, including the hypophysis. Neurological surgery includes the operative and non-operative management, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, critical care and rehabilitation of patients with disorders of the nervous system.
Cervical Spine
The neck is part of a long flexible column, known as the spinal column or backbone, which extends through most of the body. The cervical spine (neck region) consists of seven bones (C1-C7 vertebrae), which are separated from one another by intervertebral discs. These discs allow the spine to move freely and act as shock absorbers during activity.
Lumbar Spine
The lumbar spine (lower back) consists of five vertebrae in the lower part of the spine, between the ribs and the pelvis. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, compressing the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs. While it may affect younger patients, due to developmental causes, it is more often a degenerative condition that affects people who are typically age 60 and older.
Advanced Techniques
Minimally invasive spinal surgery involves the use of smaller incisions that minimize damage to the surrounding muscles and ligaments of the spine. These less invasive surgeries allow for the following benefits when compared to traditional surgeries, including:
- Faster recovery times
- Reduced infection and blood loss
- Faster return to your regular lifestyle
