Spine and Spinal Cord Conditions:
It is a common misconception that neurosurgery focuses only on conditions associated with the brain, but in fact over 70 percent of neurosurgery procedures involve treating spine and spinal cord health conditions. Neck or back pain, pinched nerves, and numbness or weakness in the arms or legs are all conditions that can result from ruptured or bulging disks, excessive overgrowth of arthritic bone, slippage of the vertebra, or infections or fractures.
