Expert Care for a Wide Range of Neurosurgical Conditions
Our experienced team is here to provide you with the personalized care you need for a comprehensive array of neurological conditions.
Cervical stenosis
"Stenosis" is a Latin-derived term meaning narrowing. When a narrowing occurs in the spinal canal, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerves, this condition is referred to as cervical spinal stenosis, or simply spinal canal narrowing in the neck region.
Cervical Stenosis and Cervical Myelopathy
Cervical myelopathy is a condition describing damage of the spinal cord due to severe narrowing (stenosis) of the cervical spinal canal. Classically, it has an insidious onset progressing in a stepwise manner with functional decline. Without treatment, patients may progress toward significant paralysis and loss of function.
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease that makes bones fragile and reduces their mechanical strength, increasing the risk of fractures in osteoporosis patients. In severe cases, fractures can occur even from minor injuries. The most common fracture sites in osteoporosis are the forearm near the wrist joint, osteoporotic vertebral fractures, the humerus near the shoulder joint, and hip fractures.
Back Pain: Chronic and Acute
Despite the tremendous progress in medicine—both in understanding diseases and in diagnostics and treatment—there are medical issues that remain unresolved and are becoming increasingly relevant. One such issue is back pain.
Lumbar stenosis
The lumbar spine consists of 5 or less commonly 6 vertebrae located between the thorax and the pelvis.
Cervical disc herniation
Cervical disc herniation in closely related to the anatomy of cervical spine. The cervical spine consists of vertebrae and intervertebral discs spaced between them.
Lumbar disc herniation
Lumbar disc herniation is closely related to the structure of the disc. The intervertebral disc consists of two parts – a dense circular ring that contains a thick gel-like core.
Vertebral Hemangioma
Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors found in the spine, accounting for 10-12% of all spinal tumors. They rarely cause health issues, with only 1.2% of hemangiomas being symptomatic. As a result, in most cases, hemangiomas are detected incidentally during radiological examinations, without significant clinical importance. Typically, a person has only one spinal hemangioma, though multiple hemangiomas can sometimes be present.
Myths about Back Surgery
