Worldwide, roughly 22.6 million patients require the expertise of a neurosurgeon every year due to neurological disorders or injuries. The nervous system governs the body’s ability to move, think, feel, and communicate, making neurosurgery one of the most complex and intricate surgeries performed today.

At Specialty Medical Center, we diagnose and treat conditions affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. We offer a wide variety of procedures that can be performed depending on the specific needs of the patient.

Neurosurgery encompasses an extensive range of procedures to address various neurological conditions. Conditions treated include:

• Brain Tumors: Neurosurgeons use advanced imaging techniques to locate and remove tumors in the brain. They also work with other specialists to create personalized treatment plans for patients.

• Spinal Disorders: Neurosurgeons treat spinal disorders such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease using both surgical and non-surgical approaches.

• Traumatic Injuries: Neurosurgeons treat traumatic injuries such as head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and nerve damage caused by accidents or falls.

• Epilepsy: Neurosurgeons work with patients who suffer from epilepsy to develop treatment plans that may include medication, surgery, or other procedures to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

• Movement Disorders: Neurosurgeons treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor using deep brain stimulation (DBS) and other surgical techniques.

• Vascular Disorders: Neurosurgeons treat vascular disorders such as aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using minimally invasive techniques like endovascular coiling and embolization.

• Trigeminal Neuralgia: This condition causes severe facial pain, and neurosurgeons can offer surgical treatments like microvascular decompression to alleviate symptoms.

Other conditions include the following:

• Hydrocephalus
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Epilepsy
• Chiari Malformation
• Syringomyelia
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Brachial Plexus Injury
• Moyamoya Disease
• Neoplasms
• Central Nervous System Infections
• Cerebrovascular Accident

Each neurological condition requires a personalized treatment plan which may involve surgery, medication, or other forms of therapy. Before any procedure, we will thoroughly review your medical history and conduct a physical examination to determine the best course of action. Our goal is always to provide the highest level of care and improve your quality of life.

If you are experiencing symptoms related to a neurological disorder or have been diagnosed with one, a personal consultation with a board-certified neurosurgeon at Specialty MC can help determine the next steps in your treatment.

Chiropractic Surgery

Chiropractic surgery, or surgery that deals with the spinal column, is a complex field that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of spinal column ailments. It is a vital treatment option for patients suffering from chronic back pain and other conditions that affect the spine and peripheral nervous system, causing discomfort. Spinal problems can cause:

• Severe pain
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Weakness in the arms
• Weakness in the legs
• Weakness in other parts of the body

Conditions Treated

At Specialty MC, we offer advanced spinal surgery options to address a wide range of conditions, including:

• Bulging Disc
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Foraminal Stenosis
• Herniated Disc
• Sciatica
• Spinal Stenosis

Surgical Spinal Treatment

• Minimally invasive spine surgery: This technique involves making small incisions and using specialized instruments to repair or remove damaged discs or vertebrae. Minimally invasive surgery typically results in less pain, a faster recovery time, and fewer complications than traditional open surgery.

• Spinal fusion surgery: This procedure involves fusing two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and reduce pain. Our surgeons use advanced imaging technology to plan and execute the surgery with precision.

• Disc replacement surgery: In this procedure, a damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc to restore mobility and reduce pain. Our surgeons use the latest techniques to ensure a successful outcome.

• Laminectomy procedure: This procedure involves removing part of the bony arches of the vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Our surgeons use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a successful outcome.

• Discectomy surgery: This procedure involves removing a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root to relieve pain and improve mobility.

• Vertebroplasty treatment: This minimally invasive procedure is used to treat painful vertebral fractures by injecting medical-grade cement into the affected vertebrae to stabilize the bone.

• Kyphoplasty procedure: This procedure is similar to vertebroplasty but involves using a balloon-like device to create space in the collapsed vertebra before injecting the cement.

• Artificial disc surgery: This procedure involves replacing a damaged or degenerated disc with an artificial disc to restore mobility and reduce pain.

• Endoscopic discectomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a small camera and specialized instruments to remove a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root.

• Microdiscectomy surgery: This procedure involves removing a small portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root to relieve pain and improve mobility. Our surgeons use advanced imaging technology to plan and execute the surgery with precision

Orthopedic surgery is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. These disorders can be caused by injury, disease, or age-related wear and tear. Some of the most common orthopedic surgeries are:

• Knee Replacement
• Hip Replacement
• Spinal Fusion
• ACL Reconstruction
• Rotator Cuff Repair
• Carpal Tunnel Release
• Total Joint Replacement
• Arthroscopy
• Osteotomy
• Fracture Repair

Surgical Interventions

Arthroscopy
This minimally-invasive procedure allows your surgeon to examine and repair joint damage using a small camera and specialized instruments. It’s often used to treat conditions like rotator cuff tears, ACL injuries, and cartilage damage.

Joint Replacement
If you’re experiencing severe joint pain and stiffness, joint replacement surgery may be recommended. During this procedure, your surgeon will remove damaged or diseased joint tissue and replace it with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic.

Spinal Fusion
For patients with spinal instability or chronic back pain, spinal fusion surgery may be necessary. This procedure involves fusing two or more vertebrae together to create a stable, supportive structure.

Soft Tissue Repair
Torn tendons, ligaments, and muscles can be repaired through soft tissue repair surgery. Your surgeon will carefully reattach the damaged tissue to its proper location, allowing it to heal and regain strength.

Osteotomy
In cases where bone deformities are causing pain or affecting mobility, osteotomy surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves cutting and reshaping the bone to correct the deformity.

Cartilage Restoration
Damaged cartilage in the joints can cause pain and stiffness. Cartilage restoration surgeries use various techniques to repair or replace the damaged cartilage, restoring normal joint function.

Ligament Reconstruction
Torn ligaments can be repaired through ligament reconstruction surgery. Your surgeon will remove the damaged ligament and replace it with a graft from another part of your body or a donor.

Fracture Repair
Broken bones can be repaired through fracture repair surgery. Depending on the severity of the fracture, your surgeon may use pins, screws, plates, or rods to hold the bone in place while it heals.

Tendon Transfer
In cases where a tendon has been completely torn or damaged beyond repair, tendon transfer surgery may be necessary. This involves moving a nearby tendon to take over the function of the damaged one.

Bone Grafting
For patients with bone loss or weakened bones, bone grafting surgery can be used to help rebuild and strengthen the affected area. During this procedure, your surgeon will transplant bone tissue from another part of your body or a donor to the site of the injury or damage.

Treatment at Specialty Medical Center helps patients:

Find Relief from Chronic Pain
Many surgeries are performed to alleviate chronic pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. Patients who undergo these procedures often experience significant relief from their symptoms, allowing them to enjoy a higher quality of life.

Improve Mobility
Surgery can also help improve mobility in patients who have suffered from conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. By repairing damaged nerves or removing obstructions, these surgeries can help patients regain lost function and independence.
