  • Persistent numbness, tingling, or weakness in your limbs or hands.
  • Chronic back or neck pain that radiates down your arms or legs.
  • Suspected brain or spinal tumors discovered on diagnostic imaging.
  • Sudden balance issues, dizziness, or unexplained loss of coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between a neurologist and neurosurgeon?

Neurologists diagnose and treat nervous system disorders using medications and non-surgical techniques. On the other hand, neurosurgeons specialize in surgical interventions when a physical operation is required.

A neurosurgeon’s intervention becomes necessary for a herniated disc when the disc material compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots.

You can call our dedicated appointment booking number 0353 352 1721. Over the call, you need to specify the consultation requirement with our neurosurgeon.
