Neurosurgical Symptoms
Neurosurgical symptoms can indicate serious underlying conditions that require prompt medical attention. Recognizing these symptoms early can be crucial for effective treatment and recovery. Here are some key neurosurgical symptoms to watch for:
Numbness
A loss of sensation in a part of your body, often indicating nerve damage or compression.
Tingling
A prickling or “pins and needles” sensation, often associated with nerve irritation.
Burning
A persistent burning sensation, which can signal nerve inflammation or injury.
Shooting Pains
Sudden, sharp pains that travel along a nerve path, indicating possible nerve impingement.
Muscle Weakness
A noticeable decrease in muscle strength, suggesting potential nerve or spinal cord issues.
Loss of Bowel/Bladder Function
Loss of bowel or bladder control requires immediate medical attention.
Advanced Treatment OptionsESI Injections Using a C-arm
We offer advanced treatment options to effectively manage pain and promote healing. One of our specialized procedures includes Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) administered using a C-arm fluoroscopy. ESI injections deliver corticosteroids directly into the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerve roots. This targeted approach aims to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy.
Utilization of C-arm Fluoroscopy
Our use of a C-arm fluoroscopy ensures precise needle placement during ESI injections. This real-time imaging technology provides:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Allows our healthcare providers to visualize the needle position in real-time, ensuring the medication is delivered precisely to the affected area.
- Safety: Minimizes the risk of complications by guiding the injection process with detailed, live imaging of the spine and surrounding structures.
Benefits of ESI Injections
- Pain Relief: Offers effective pain relief by reducing inflammation and swelling around nerve roots and spinal discs.
- Improved Functionality: Helps restore mobility and improve quality of life by alleviating symptoms associated with spinal conditions.
