Back Pain

Back pain is a common issue that can stem from various causes, including muscle strain, herniated discs, and spinal problems. At California Neurosurgical Institute, we focus on conservative treatments such as physical therapy and medication before considering surgical options, ensuring a holistic approach to your relief.

Sciatica

Sciatica results from pressure on the sciatic nerve, often causing pain that radiates down the leg. Our team can prescribe non-surgical solutions like physical therapy and perform advanced surgical options, if necessary, to alleviate your pain and improve mobility.

Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues put pressure on a nerve, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. We offer treatments ranging from conservative methods like physical therapy to minimally invasive surgical options to relieve pressure and restore function.

Slipped Disc

Also known as a herniated disc, this condition involves displacing a spinal disc that can press on nerves. We provide conservative treatments first and, if needed, surgical options like discectomy or disc replacement to relieve your symptoms.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries require prompt and effective treatment to manage symptoms and prevent long-term damage. Our approach includes non-surgical methods for symptom management and surgical interventions, if necessary, to address severe cases.

Concussion

Concussions are a common form of mild traumatic brain injury. Treatment is focused on symptom reduction and non-surgical therapies focused on rehabilitation. We diagnose the concussion and rule out other more serious injuries before formulating a non-surgical treatment plan.

Spinal Cord Compression

Spinal cord compression can lead to significant pain and neurological issues. Surgical options such as laminectomy and spinal decompression are available if symptoms persist despite more conservative treatments.

Degenerated and Herniated Discs

Degenerated and herniated discs can cause pain and discomfort. We start with conservative treatments and offer surgical interventions like disc replacement or fusion if non-surgical methods are ineffective.

Peripheral Nerve Pain

Peripheral nerve pain, often due to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tarsal tunnel syndrome, can be debilitating. Our team offers conservative treatments and advanced surgical options to relieve nerve pressure and reduce pain.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to pain and discomfort. When physical therapy and medication fail to work, we provide surgical options like laminectomy and fusion.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe facial pain due to nerve irritation. We offer advanced microvascular decompression to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

Hemifacial Spasm

Hemifacial spasm involves involuntary muscle contractions on one side of the face. Our treatment options include both non-surgical approaches and surgical interventions to reduce or prevent these spasms.
