Who is a Brain and Spine Specialist?

A brain and spine specialist specializes in the medical or surgical treatment of diseases and conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system, including nerves, the spinal cord, muscles, and related blood vessels. They also diagnose and treat many neurological diseases, such as stroke, back problems, seizure disorders, brain and spine tumors, injuries, and birth defects. Neurosurgeons also perform surgery on the neck, back, brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves to treat neurological issues.

Brain and spine specialists are also experts who specialize in the prevention of brain, spine, and nervous system conditions and in reducing neurological disability. A neurologist might help your primary care doctor take care of you. A brain and spine specialist typically:

  • Evaluates a medical history and educate patients about the brain and nervous system health and disease prevention.
  • Carry out physical exams that involve evaluating blood pressure, vital signs, and the overall health of the brain and nervous system.
  • Recommends and interprets laboratory as well as imaging tests and prescribes medications.
  • Diagnoses and treats acute and chronic conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system including spinal cord and brain injuries and tumors, movement disorders, and different types of back problems.
  • Screens, treats, as well as monitors conditions that escalate the risk of complex brain and nervous system conditions like a head injury that can result in long-term memory loss and headaches.
  • Performs diagnostic procedures or surgery to treat brain cancer, back pain, and birth defects of the brain and spinal cord.
  • Provides direct care for spine, brain, and nervous system conditions in the clinic and hospital.

What are the qualifications of a Brain and Spine Specialist?

Candidates aspiring to become a neurologist must have a 5½ years MBBS degree followed by 2 to 3 years MD/DNB course. After gaining the Master's degree, candidates have to pursue D.M. (neurology) to specialize in the field of neurology.

The first step to becoming a brain and spine specialist is to get a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. Students must choose a degree that weighs heavy in the sciences. After clearing a competitive examination, a student can gain entrance into a medical school.

A medical student needs to complete a five-and-a-half-year MBBS program that prepares a student to work as a medical doctor. A student’s final two years will include clinical rotations in his or her chosen medical specialty.

A neurosurgeon residency program prepares a doctor to work in the field and also offers the opportunity to complete rotations in many areas of surgery and sub-specialties. As a doctor has additional experience and responsibilities, they can start focusing on neurosurgery. A brain and spine specialist has the opportunity to extend their training after doing residency by completing a spine fellowship program.
