Neurosurgery Clinic
Neurosurgeons are involved in preventing, diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spine and nerves. They also treat and manage conditions that affect the flow of blood to the brain. As well as performing operations, they may be involved in a person’s rehabilitation after treatment. Common reasons why people need neurosurgery include:
- strokes or bleeding on the brain (cerebral aneurysms)
- benign or cancerous brain and spinal tumours
- spinal conditions such as tethered spinal cords, herniated discs and osteoarthritis
- head, neck or spine injuries
- seizures, epilepsy and movement disorders
- neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease
- certain types of chronic pain
