Specialized Neurological Treatments at Apex Spine and Neurosurgery
At Apex Spine and Neurosurgery, we specialize in providing advanced neurosurgical and spinal care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our team of board-certified neurosurgeons and specialists is dedicated to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care using state-of-the-art technology and innovative treatment approaches.
This page explores the diverse range of services we offer, from spine surgeries to neurosurgical interventions, ensuring that our patients receive the highest quality of care for various neurological and spinal conditions. This includes the following:
Range Of Services
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing. At Apex Spine and Neurosurgery, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment options for scoliosis, including non-surgical approaches such as bracing and physical therapy, as well as surgical correction for more severe cases.
Discectomy & Fusion
Discectomy involves the surgical removal of a herniated or damaged disc in the spine that may be causing nerve compression and pain. Fusion is often performed alongside discectomy to stabilize the spine by joining two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts, screws, and rods.
Pinched Nerve
Pinched nerves in the spine can cause radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. Our specialists diagnose and treat pinched nerves using conservative methods such as medications and physical therapy, and surgical options like decompression procedures to alleviate pressure on the affected nerve.
Microvascular Decompression
Microvascular decompression is a surgical procedure used to relieve compression of cranial nerves, typically the trigeminal nerve responsible for trigeminal neuralgia. This procedure involves identifying and gently moving blood vessels that may be causing nerve irritation or compression, providing long-term relief from facial pain.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain, leading to increased pressure. Treatment options include shunt placement to divert excess CSF away from the brain or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) to create a new pathway for CSF drainage.
Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove a herniated disc fragment pressing on a nerve root in the spine. This approach involves smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Chiari Malformation
Chiari malformation is a structural defect in which the lower part of the brain (cerebellum) extends into the spinal canal. Our specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment options for Chiari malformation, including surgical decompression to alleviate symptoms and improve cerebrospinal fluid flow.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, causing intense, stabbing facial pain. Our specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment options, including medications, nerve blocks, gamma knife radiosurgery, and microvascular decompression surgery for refractory cases.
Spinal Instability
Spinal instability occurs when there is abnormal movement between vertebrae, often due to degenerative changes or trauma. We offer surgical interventions such as spinal fusion, dynamic stabilization, or SI fusion to restore spinal stability and alleviate pain while preserving spinal motion.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically down the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Treatment options include conservative measures such as physical therapy, medications, and epidural steroid injections, as well as surgical decompression procedures for severe or persistent symptoms.
Interventional Pain Management
Our interventional pain management services aim to relieve chronic pain through minimally invasive procedures, such as epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation. These techniques help manage pain and improve quality of life for patients with spine-related pain conditions.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a device implanted near the spine to deliver electrical pulses that interfere with pain signals, providing relief for chronic back or leg pain that has not responded to other treatments. Our specialists evaluate and perform spinal cord stimulator implantation procedures to help patients manage chronic pain effectively.
PNS Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) involves implanting a device near a peripheral nerve to deliver electrical stimulation, alleviating chronic pain conditions such as neuropathy or nerve injury. Our team evaluates and performs PNS procedures tailored to each patient’s specific pain management needs.
SI Fusion
SI fusion (Sacroiliac joint fusion) is a surgical procedure that stabilizes the sacroiliac joint using bone grafts and implants to alleviate pain and restore normal function. This procedure is indicated for patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction or instability causing lower back and pelvic pain.
Superion (Vertiflex) Intracept Procedure
The Superion (Vertiflex) Intracept Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with chronic low back pain originating from the vertebrae. This procedure involves targeting and interrupting the basivertebral nerve to provide long-lasting pain relief without removing bone or spinal tissue.
Cervical Disc Disease
Cervical disc disease refers to degenerative changes in the discs of the cervical spine (neck region). We offer various treatment options, including medication management, physical therapy, and surgical interventions such as cervical disc replacement or fusion to address pain and restore spinal stability.
Disc Replacement
Disc replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged or degenerated spinal disc with an artificial disc implant. This procedure aims to maintain natural spine motion and function while alleviating pain and reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration compared to traditional fusion surgery.
Brain Tumors
Our neurosurgical team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, and metastatic tumors. Treatment plans may include surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), chemotherapy, and ongoing surveillance to manage and monitor tumor growth.
Spinal Fractures
Spinal fractures, often resulting from trauma or osteoporosis, can cause severe pain and spinal instability. We offer advanced treatment options for spinal fractures, including minimally invasive procedures, spinal fusion, and vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to stabilize fractured vertebrae and alleviate pain.
VIA Disc NP
VIA Disc NP (Nucleus Pulposus Replacement) is an innovative treatment for degenerative disc disease, involving the implantation of a biocompatible polymer device to restore disc height and function while preserving spinal motion.
EMG/NCS (Nerve Conduction Study)
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are diagnostic tests used to evaluate nerve and muscle function. These tests help diagnose conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and radiculopathy, guiding treatment decisions for optimal patient care.
Back Braces
Back braces are orthotic devices used to provide support and stability to the spine, reducing pain and preventing further injury. Our specialists assess each patient’s needs and recommend custom-fitted back braces for conditions such as scoliosis, spinal fractures, or post-surgical support.
