Our neurosurgeons primarily provide surgical treatment for patients with spine problems, spinal cord injuries and disorders, and peripheral nerve and brain conditions. Although many patients in need of a neurosurgeon experience neck and back pain, others may experience pain in other parts of their body or exhibit additional symptoms, such as dizziness, a tingling sensation or numbness, a sharp, “electrical” sensation, and muscle weakness. Seeing a neurosurgeon can help determine the cause of your symptoms. They can develop a surgical and/or treatment plan to meet your needs and address your individual conditions.
