Neurosurgeons are physicians who specialize in the field of neurosurgery. They are medically trained neurological specialists who diagnose and treat patients suffering from back and neck issues, spinal cord issues, and any diseases related to the nervous system through operative and non-operative management. Pediatric neurosurgeons treat infants and children, while other neurosurgeons specialize in treating adults.

Question 8

What are some disorders and conditions that neurosurgeons deal with?

Accepted Answer

Neurosurgeons treat several conditions related to the nervous system. Some are:

Spinal Disorders – These are disorders or injuries that develop in the spine. This could be because of degeneration due to age, traumatic accidents, overuse of some particular movements, obesity, poor posture, and congenital defects.
Peripheral Nerve Injuries – When the Peripheral Nervous System is damaged or injured, abnormal signalling or disruption of signalling can result in pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, and altered sensations. Traumatic accidents and systemic diseases are common causes of nerve damage. 
Tumors – Neurosurgeons are experts in removing tumors in the skull, brain, spine, spinal cord, and neurovascular system. 
Traumatic injuries – Traumatic head injuries from car accidents, falls, sports accidents and other activities are also treated by neurosurgeons. 
Chronic pain- Neurosurgeons can diagnose, treat, and manage many chronic pain conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, facial pain, etc.

Question 9

Should a person see a neurosurgeon for headaches?

Accepted Answer

Normally, a general physician can treat headaches, but if you are suffering from chronic and severe headaches, you should go to a neurosurgeon. This might be because of a migraine. Neurosurgeons are trained to provide medications for such headaches. Also, such headaches might indicate a bigger issue in the nervous system of a patient, and hence they should be in touch with a neurosurgeon

Question 10

What is the difference between neurologists and neurosurgeons?

Accepted Answer

Both neurologists and neurosurgeons treat the same organ- the nervous system. When a person starts to develop some neurological disorder symptoms, he might be referred to a neurologist for further investigation. After the neurologist discovers structural problems such as tumors, he refers the patient to the neurosurgeon. The basic difference between the two is that neurosurgeons are trained and equipped to perform surgeries, while neurologists are not. They often work together, in some cases, to treat the patient with the best medicinal and surgical treatment.
