Neurosurgery
Emerson’s neurosurgery staff perform many of the most common spine, head and nerve procedures. Unlike many community hospitals, Emerson has a neurosurgeon available 24 hours a day to see patients in the hospital and in the Emergency Department. Our surgeons are highly experienced and use sophisticated imaging technology and operating microscopes as appropriate. They offer treatment for the following conditions:
Spine
- Ruptured disc – cervical and lumbar spine
- Spinal stenosis – cervical and lumbar spine
- Spondylosis – cervical and lumbar spine
Head
- Trauma
- Tumors
- Shunts for normal pressure hydrocephalus
Peripheral Nerves
- Ulnar neuritis of the elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
