What Does a Neurosurgeon Do?
While a neuro surgery specialist performs complex surgery of the brain and spine, they often suggest conservative care at first. For instance, if an individual is experiencing chronic back pain, a neuro surgeon may first recommend physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs. If your pain doesn’t respond to these treatment approaches, a thorough examination of the condition by employing CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound imaging, and angiograms will help the doctor determine the best line of treatment.
