NEUROSURGERY and SPINAL SURGERY at J|medical

In case of pathologies affecting the spine or spinal cord, with possible indication for surgical treatment, it may be necessary to rely on specialist doctors in neurosurgery and spinal surgery, two related areas of medical competence.

What is neurosurgery? It is the medical specialization dedicated to diagnosis, treatment, and management of pathologies, injuries, and disorders affecting the central nervous system (which includes the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (which involves nerves).

And spinal surgery? It is focused on the surgical management of conditions affecting the spine, including problems with intervertebral discs, vertebrae, nerve roots, and adjacent structures. These pathologies can present with symptoms such as pain, reduced sensitivity, tingling, or burning/numbness sensation in the upper or lower limbs attributable to spine problems.

Depending on the specific problem and its complications, a visit with the neurosurgeon specialist or with the orthopedic spine specialist (skeletal system) may be more appropriate, who will have the task of indicating the most appropriate investigations and therapeutic regimen.

• SERVICES OFFERED AT J|medical Neurosurgical visit / spinal surgery visit. It is the meeting during which the specialist doctor takes care of examining the patient and implementing an evaluation of their medical history and presenting symptoms. Once these data are analyzed, the specialist identifies a diagnosis also with the aid of further exams, providing personalized advice to manage conditions such as spinal injuries, herniated discs, neoplasms, arthrosis, and other spine pathologies. Following diagnosis, the doctor determines the most appropriate treatment option (surgery or conservative treatment). If surgery involving the central and peripheral nervous system or the spine is indicated, the visit allows planning times and methods, enabling the acquisition of the most valuable information for the individual patient and arranging specific treatments.
