What Medical Conditions Can We Treat?

Neurosurgeons are concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with injuries or diseases of the spine, nerves, and brain. Our medical team in Florida is able to provide both non-surgical and surgical care, depending on the nature of the illness or injury.

The nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves) are all housed within a dense protective bone environment (skull and vertebral column). It is important to remember that ALL skull and spine operations are being done to protect and/or repair the brain, spinal cord and/or spinal nerves.

When Do You Need a Neurosurgeon?

Neurosurgeons are trained to manage the surgical treatment of the nervous system with problems related to the interior of the skull and spinal column. The worst thing you can do is allow the internet or other non-certified resources diagnose your pain. There are a lot of different neurological issues that share similar symptoms. Let our highly trained, Board Certified Neurosurgeons examine you thoroughly and make a proper diagnosis. This will allow for you to be treated correctly and sufficiently.

If you are suffering from any form of neurological issue, then please schedule a consultation with Florida Surgery Consultants right away. Call us at (888) 411-6824.

Neurosurgeon in Florida getting prepped for neurological procedure

When these cases are left untreated, neurological conditions can get worse and possibly deadly. During your surgical consultation at one of our medical clinics in Florida, your surgeon will review all of your available options and make recommendations as to the best course of action. If your pain can be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery, we are happy to do so.

Our Staff Is Here For You

Please note that our experienced and friendly medical staff is going to be there for you every step of the way. Learning that you may require surgery of any form is stressful and we strive to make every effort to ensure that our patients are taken care of throughout the entire process.

Do You Perform Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Here in Florida, spine surgery is typically reserved for patients that have not had success treating their back pain with more traditional or non-invasive treatment methods. This would include pain medication and various forms of physical therapy. If you have already walked this path to no success, then we do encourage you to schedule a consultation with Florida Surgery Consultants. Our surgeons do specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).

That being said, we want to make it clear that we can’t approve someone for spine surgery if the exact source of the back pain/symptoms  can’t be identified. This would be risky for our surgeons and the patient.

The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

We understand that any form of surgery can make one nervous, but there are several distinct benefits to minimally invasive spine surgery that one should be familiar with.

  • The average stay in the hospital for MISS is significantly less than most forms of surgery.
  • Recovery after MISS is going to be much swifter and easier compared to more traditional forms of spine surgery.
  • Smaller incisions means less risk of additional injury or infection to the patient.
  • A minimally invasive spine surgery will leave you with a minimally noticeable scar.

How Do You Know If You’re a Candidate for MISS?

While it was once limited, modern medical technology has made it so that we can treat a great variety of spinal conditions with minimally invasive spinal surgery. Our neurosurgeons are capable of repairing herniated discs, performing spinal fusions and addressing spinal deformities like scoliosis.

Still that does not mean that MISS is the right choice for everyone. If you want to know whether you’re a candidate, the best way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with a real neurosurgeon here in Florida. Fortunately, you can do so right now by completing our online consultation form or calling us at (888) 411-6824
