Neurosurgeons first have the training which makes them eligible to practise as a doctor. After this, they complete specialist training in neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons mostly see patients in their own clinics and public and private hospitals.

They also evaluate the diagnostic tests to know the exact underlying conditions and accordingly proceed with the treatment.

You may have one or more diagnostic tests so that doctors can know the cause of your condition and make effective treatment strategies. A neurological examination may include the following:

  • Spinal X-ray
  • Physical Exam
  • Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography
  • Lumbar Puncture
