Neurosurgery and Spine

Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is a medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders affecting parts of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, central and peripheral nervous systems, and cerebrovascular system. Back pain can sometimes cause neurological symptoms such as numbness, muscle weakness, and loss of bowel and bladder control due to nerve root dysfunction.
