FAQ's Related to Neurologist

What does a neurosurgeon do?

A neurosurgeon is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing and surgically treating brain, spine, and nervous disorders. This includes conditions like brain tumours, spinal disc problems, traumatic injuries, stroke, and nerve disorders.

Is surgery the only treatment a neurosurgeon offers?

Not always. While trained in surgery, neurosurgeons often recommend non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or minimally invasive procedures, depending on the condition.

When should I see a neurosurgeon?

You may be referred to a neurosurgeon if you have symptoms like chronic back or neck pain, numbness or tingling, weakness in your limbs, seizures, or if imaging shows abnormalities in the brain or spine.

What’s the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?

A neurologist diagnoses and treats neurological conditions using non-surgical methods. Neurosurgeons can diagnose and treat, but are trained to perform surgery when necessary.

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced technology to reduce damage to surrounding tissues. This often means shorter recovery time, less pain, and decreased risk of complications.

How long is the recovery after neurosurgery?

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health. Some may recover in a few weeks, while others, especially after complex brain or spine surgeries, may take several months
