Neurosurgery
Neurosurgeons at Cornerstone Regional Hospital specialize in surgery on the back and neck. Physicians use nonsurgical and surgical treatments to help treat neurological and spinal disorders.
Physicians at the hospital can evaluate your condition and recommend treatment that could include rehabilitation, exercise or other therapies to relieve pain and increase function. If surgery is required, many procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques for shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times.
