Neurosurgeon
Who is a neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon is a medical specialist who treats disorders, diseases and injuries affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurosurgeons treat both congenital and acquired conditions, as well as injuries.
A neurosurgeon is skilled in both surgical and conservative (non-surgical) treatment methods. This specialist diagnoses surgical diseases of the brain, peripheral nervous system and spine. Neurosurgeons use not only surgical methods of treatment, but also invasive methods of pain relief (e.g., blockades) and various manipulations to relieve pain.
A neurosurgeon can help patients with the following symptoms and disorders:
- Severe, prolonged headaches;
- Motor disorders (loss of coordination or muscle weakness);
- Unilateral or zonal muscle weakness of the face or body;
- Back pain.
How does a neurosurgeon work?
The neurosurgeon's approach at the FORTEMED Medical Centre is tailored to the patient's individual needs and health status. At the first appointment, the neurosurgeon listens to the patient's complaints and assesses reflexes, muscle strength, sensation, and the condition of the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. To do this, the FORTEMED Medical Centre uses specialised instruments and conducts simple tests that cause the patient no pain or discomfort.
The neurosurgeon collaborates with other specialists, such as neurologists, radiologists, and physiotherapists, to provide patients with a comprehensive and effective treatment plan. Neurological diseases can cause not only physical pain but also affect quality of life and emotional balance. We urge patients to see a specialist immediately as soon as the slightest signs of nervous system pathology appear.
What conditions does a neurosurgeon treat?
The most common diseases and conditions treated by neurosurgeons include:
- Brain and spinal cord tumours;
- Cerebrovascular diseases;
- Brain and spinal cord injuries;
- Degenerative diseases of the spine (intervertebral hernia, spondylosis, spinal stenosis and other diseases causing back pain and/or neurological disorders);
- Nerve compression syndromes (carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome);
- Epilepsy;
- Hydrocephalus;
- Peripheral nervous system injuries;
- Parkinson's disease and other motor disorders;
- Trigeminal neuralgia and other pain syndromes (cases of trigeminal neuralgia or glossopharyngeal neuralgia).
