Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the surgical treatment of the nervous system. This includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, spine, and peripheral nerves.
Patients most commonly consult a neurosurgeon with spine-related complaints, such as herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, chronic neck or lower back pain, numbness, or limb pain. The field also deals with brain and spinal cord tumours, injuries, and certain neurological pain syndromes, among other conditions.
At our clinic, neurosurgical specialist consultations, follow-up examinations, and targeted pain management procedures are available, including nerve root infiltration and facet joint infiltration at one or multiple levels. During the consultation, our specialist reviews the patient’s symptoms, performs a physical examination, and evaluates available imaging results (such as MRI or CT scans), then recommends the most appropriate treatment approach.
Nerve root infiltration is a targeted pain-relief injection administered near the nerve root as it exits the spine. During the procedure, the physician injects anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medication directly next to the affected nerve root responsible for symptoms such as lower back pain, neck pain, radiating pain in the arms or legs, or numbness. The aim of the treatment is to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on the nerve, and alleviate pain.
Facet joint infiltration is a targeted injection therapy in which the physician delivers anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medication into the facet joints of the spine. These small joints between the vertebrae play an important role in spinal movement and stability. When affected by degeneration, overuse, or inflammation, these joints can cause pain, most commonly presenting as lower back or neck pain.
