FAQs

What does a neurosurgeon treat?

Neurosurgeons treat conditions that impact the brain, spine and spinal cord, as well as the surrounding and supporting nerves and blood vessels.

Why should I see a neurosurgeon for spine surgery?

When at-home or non-invasive treatments haven’t helped, our spine surgeons can. They'll create a custom treatment plan, which may include laser and minimally invasive surgery.
