Frequently asked questions
- When is it worth scheduling an appointment with a neurosurgeon?
- It is worth seeing a neurosurgeon if you experience recurring headaches and dizziness, numbness or weakness in the limbs, spinal disc disease, frequent fainting, vision problems of unclear origin, or difficulties with concentration and memory.
- Neurosurgeon vs. neurolog — what’s the difference?
- A neurolog diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system using conservative methods such as pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation. A neurosurgeon specializes in surgical treatment, including herniated discs, brain tumors, and injuries. The two specialties complement each other and often require close collaboration.
- How should I prepare for a visit with a neurosurgeon?
- It is worth bringing your imaging test results (MRI, CT scan), neurological test results (EEG, EMG), records from previous consultations, and a list of medications you are currently taking.
