FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

A neurosurgeon specialises in diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Common conditions include brain tumors, spinal disorders, head injuries, nerve compression syndromes, and neurovascular diseases.

You should consult a neurosurgeon if you experience persistent headaches, chronic neck or back pain, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, seizures, balance problems, or symptoms related to brain or spinal disorders.

Symptoms may include frequent headaches, seizures, vision changes, nausea, memory problems, weakness on one side of the body, speech difficulties, or changes in personality and behaviour.

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often due to ageing, injury, repetitive strain, or heavy lifting. It can cause back pain, numbness, and pain radiating to the arms or legs.

No. Many spine conditions can be managed with medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, injections, and rehabilitation. Surgery is generally recommended when conservative treatments are ineffective or when there is significant nerve compression or spinal instability.
