NEUROSURGERY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Having a neurological problem can be frightening. At Townsen Memorial Hospital, we understand the confusion and pain you may be facing. Fortunately, our skilled medical care team is well-versed in handling all types of neurological problems.

Sometimes people confuse a neurologist for a neurosurgeon. However, a neurologist limits their practice to the nervous system and does not physically operate on a patient, while a neurosurgeon does. Additionally, neurosurgery is a valuable role in medicine because it works to protect and heal the brain. At Townsen Memorial Hospital, we require our neurosurgeons to go through rigorous and extensive training to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.

NEUROSURGERY SYMPTOMS

Neurosurgery is a type of surgery performed on the nervous system, more specifically the brain and spinal cord.
