Spine care begins by finding the cause of your symptoms. Your specialist reviews how back or leg pain affects daily life, examines nerve function and studies your imaging. Decompression or another operation may help when nerve pressure or instability needs surgical treatment.
Spinal fusion joins selected vertebrae to reduce movement at a problem area. It may be recommended for instability, deformity or particular degenerative conditions. Your plan identifies the levels to be treated, the surgical approach and the bone graft and fixation needed.
Microdiscectomy removes the part of a slipped lumbar disc pressing on a nerve. It is usually considered for persistent sciatica when symptoms and MRI findings point to the same disc. The aim is to relieve nerve-related leg pain while preserving as much of the disc as possible.
Artificial disc replacement removes a damaged disc and replaces it with an implant designed to allow movement at that level. It is an option for selected neck or lower-back conditions. Imaging, joint health and spinal stability help determine suitability.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) uses implanted electrodes and a pulse generator to help manage selected movement symptoms of Parkinson’s. A movement-disorder team assesses your response to medicines and your daily difficulties. Programming and follow-up are central parts of treatment.
A craniotomy temporarily opens part of the skull so the neurosurgeon can reach the brain. For a brain tumour, surgery may obtain a diagnosis or remove tumour tissue. The plan balances treatment goals with protecting brain functions and considers your scan findings and overall health.
