Conditions We Treat

Brain Tumor

A brain tumor is an abnormal mass of cells in the brain that either begins in the brain (primary brain tumor) or grows from a cancer that begins elsewhere in the body and travels to the brain (metastatic, or secondary brain tumor). Brain tumors can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and depending on the location, possible symptoms include unexplained nausea and vomiting, headaches that get progressively worse, seizures and personality changes.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a sideways curve in the spine most often seen as a child gets closer to the teenage years. In a mild case, one shoulder might seem higher than the other or the waist might be tilted. If that's the case, the child will be monitored and treatment may not be needed. Severe cases may have a twist in the spine as well as a curve, which can cause back pain and breathing problems. Scoliosis appears to be hereditary (runs in the family), or caused by diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and infections/injury of the spine.

Seizure

A seizure is sudden uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain that can cause a variety of physical manifestations, including shaking or stiffening of the arms and legs, changes in awareness, loss of consciousness, or abnormal behaviors. They usually last up to minutes at a time. Seizures that last longer are considered a medical emergency. Seizures are divided into those that are generalized and focal. Generalized seizures involve all areas of the brain when they start, while focal seizures involve only one part of the brain and may later spread to others.
