When does someone need Neurosurgery?

People experiencing constant neck or back pain may have a degenerative spine disc, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, trauma, or other conditions irritating nerves and muscles.  Only after non-surgical options are tried will Dr. Anderson suggest surgical intervention.

What does minimally invasive mean?

Minimally invasive surgery is the standard in operating on the brain and spine.  Neurosurgeons use the best methods and minimal incisions to reach the cranial or spinal cavity point to perform the necessary treatments.  Whether removing a tumor in the brain or repairing discs in the spine, Dr. Anderson studies the condition and anatomy of each patient to plan out the appropriate incision and method to perform the surgery.
