Although most often associated with brain injury, neuro-surgeons also diagnose and treat disorders spanning the entire nervous system. In addition to the brain, this system includes the spinal cord, spinal column and all of the peripheral nerves that branch out through the entire body.
The nervous system gives us the power to sense pleasure - or suffer pain. When injury or disease impairs the nervous system, pain usually results. Therefore, a neurosurgeon is also a pain specialist. Mid-Atlantic Neurosurgical Associates is a team of board certified and fellowship trained surgeons who provide a full range of treatments for nervous system and spine disorders, from minimally invasive procedures to complex reconstructions with instrumentations. Our surgeons are experts in microsurgery, complex spinal pathology, cranial and peripheral nerve disorders, cerebrovascular diseases and tumors. They are highly skilled in the latest technological breakthroughs in medical science, and remain dedicated to their founding principle of patient-focused care. The same hands that must be precise to the millimeter during complex surgery also provide a sensitive and compassionate touch throughout every stage of a patient's treatment.
