Neurological surgery

Your nervous system controls how you sense and react to the world around you. It involves your brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves. When that system isn't working properly or becomes damaged, our experts can help.

Neurosurgeons not only operate on the brain, they also use non-surgical means to help adults and children with conditions like these:

• aneurysms and clogged arteries
• birth defects
• brain and spine tumors
• chronic back pain
• head and spinal cord injuries
• multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and tremor
