Neurosurgery is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the surgical treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Neurosurgeons are highly trained professionals who diagnose and manage a wide range of neurological conditions through both surgical and non-surgical methods.
While brain surgery is one of the most complex and delicate aspects of neurosurgery—often involving treatment for tumors, trauma, and neurological diseases—the field also extends far beyond the brain. Neurosurgeons commonly perform procedures for spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal injuries, as well as interventions involving nerve compression and congenital abnormalities.
If you are experiencing persistent or worsening symptoms such as severe headaches, seizures, memory loss, dizziness, numbness, or difficulty with movement and coordination, it may be time to consult a neurosurgeon. These could be signs of underlying neurological conditions that require expert evaluation. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention can make a significant difference in patient recovery and long-term outcomes.

From complex brain surgeries to minimally invasive spine procedures, our team provides personalized, advanced care to help you get back to living a healthy and active life.
While not all conditions requiring neurosurgery can be prevented, certain lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of neurological disorders:
Neurosurgeons manage a wide range of neurological disorders, including brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, herniated discs, and peripheral nerve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica.
No. Many modern neurosurgical procedures are now performed using minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic and robotic-assisted methods. These approaches often lead to smaller incisions, reduced risk of complications, and faster recovery times.
Recovery depends on the type and complexity of the surgery. It typically involves a combination of rest, pain management, physical rehabilitation, and regular follow-up visits to monitor healing and neurological function.
Not always. While they are trained in surgical procedures, neurosurgeons also offer non-surgical treatments such as medications, lifestyle guidance, image-guided injections, and physical therapy to manage neurological conditions when surgery is not immediately required.
