Neurosurgeon – The Brain Doctors

A neurosurgeon is a brain doctor but that’s not the only body part of his purview. A neurosurgeon is one that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with injury to, or diseases/disorders of the brain, spinal cord and spinal column, and peripheral nerves within all parts of the body. And of course, this branch of medicine deals with neurosurgical care includes both adult and paediatric patients.

However, the nature of injury or disease defines the kind of care required like surgical and non-surgical care.  The occurrence of surgeries for the spine is a lot more than the one for the brain, in which more spinal surgeries are performed than brain surgeries by neurosurgeons. Spine as a whole is divided into cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) and their study likewise is also specialized so the neurosurgeon in Faridabad further specialize accordingly and deal according to spinal cord injury, or by age group.

Common neurological disorders that a neurologist may treat are headaches, sleep disorders, tremors, epilepsy, brain, and spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and peripheral nerve disorders. There is a close relationship between neurosurgery and neurology in that both require specialized knowledge of the nervous system and its functions.

Complex neurological testing like EEG, MRI and CT scan to monitor the brain. The only difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist is that a neurologist doesn't perform surgery.
