Treatment Options and Surgical Cases

There can be a number of ways to treat neurosurgical conditions. In some cases, patients are referred to physical therapy to strengthen their muscles and in other cases, surgery is recommended as the best treatment option.

If surgery is needed, your neurosurgeon will discuss the procedure with you and explain the risks and benefits. If you consent to surgery, the neurosurgeon's Clinical Coordinator will schedule the procedure for you. Before you have surgery, you will have a pre-operative physical, and an appointment with our Anesthesia staff. Your primary care doctor may need to provide medical clearance to be sure that you are healthy for surgery. We will also work with you to assure that your insurance or health plan authorizes the surgery and any stay in the hospital.

Because many patients have pain from their condition, we try to schedule your surgery within a few weeks of your decision. We will work with you to coordinate a surgery date if you need to make arrangements for things like childcare and time off from your job.
