Northwest Neurosciences

Northwest Neurosciences is a medical center which provides care in the specialties of neurosurgery, neurology and pain management. Our goal is to provide timely services that will ultimately improve the quality of life for our patients. Patients should be provided prompt, accurate diagnoses and diverse options of management.

 

 

Neurosurgery

At Northwest Neurosciences many clinical disorders which were once approached with surgical intervention are currently managed with a nonsurgical approach. For example, most cases of low back or neck pain can be treated without invasive surgery. However, often there are serious clinical disorders involving the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves, in which case neurosurgery is required. In those cases, surgical intervention provides decreased morbidity and mortality, reduced disability and pain and an overall improved quality of life.

A comprehensive approach is presented to the patient in order to achieve an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan. We manage several neurosurgical conditions, more commonly:

  • Degenerative disorders of the spine leading to low back pain and neck pain.
  • Stroke/cerebrovascular accidents
  • Spinal cord injury disorders
  • Brain tumors

Neurology
