What is Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a surgical specialty involved in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spine, spinal cord and nerves. Neurosurgeons treat a vast array of health conditions including brain tumors, spinal cord lesions, pinched nerves from ruptured discs or spurs, brain and spinal injuries, and pinched or injured nerves in the extremities (such as carpal tunnel syndrome). Spine surgery is one of SONSA neurosurgeons' specialties.

SONSA physicians have advanced training in a wide variety of subspecialties. We encourage you to visit our physician web pages for comprehensive information on their subspecialty expertise.
