- Brain and spinal tumors (abnormal growth of cells in the brain or spine)
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal column)
Cognitive and Neurological Health
We diagnose and treat a wide range of cognitive and neurological conditions to effectively manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Degenerative and Trauma-Related Disorders
We offer expert diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services to help you recover and manage conditions like:
- Herniated disk (rupture of a bone in the spinal column)
- Stroke
Pain and Mobility Challenges
Our team specializes in treating chronic pain and mobility issues, including:
- Chronic back and neck pain
- Compression neuropathies (numbness or pain caused by pressure on nerves)
- Peripheral neuropathies (damage to nerves located outside of the spine or brain)
Advanced Treatment Options
We understand that getting treatment can be scary. That’s why we focus on giving you the most effective and up-to-date care available. Our treatments include the latest advances in technology to help make your recovery smoother and more comfortable.
Surgical and Nonsurgical Interventions
Our team uses the latest techniques to deliver both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options including:
- Minimally invasive spine surgery (surgery using smaller incisions than standard surgery)
- Complex spine surgery (detailed operation to fix problems with the spine)
- Image-guided tumor resection (using imaging (like MRI) to guide tumor removal)
- Surgery to control epilepsy (removing specific brain tissue responsible for seizures)
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologies
We use the latest technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological conditions. These include:
- Deep-brain stimulator implantation (a device in the brain to deliver electrical impulses to treat tremors)
- Botulinum toxin injections (injections we use to temporarily prevent muscle movement)
- Electroencephalograms (EEGs)
- Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies
Innovative Pain Relief and Neurological Enhancement
There are many options to manage symptoms and treat pain. We offer advanced techniques to help you achieve better control over your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Spinal cord stimulation (the use of mild electric current to block pain)
- Vagal nerve stimulation (stimulation of the vagus nerve often used to treatment of epilepsy)
