Many neurological complaints trace back to fairly ordinary causes, things like long hours at a desk, a wrong sleeping posture, or an old sports injury that never fully healed. The difficulty is that similar symptoms can also point to something more serious, like a slipped disc, spinal stenosis, or nerve involvement that needs timely treatment.
A neurosurgeon is trained to identify the difference through a detailed evaluation and diagnosis. At the CK Birla Hospital, our neurosurgery team carefully assesses each patient to determine the underlying cause, recommend the most suitable treatment, and advise surgery only when it is genuinely needed.
A neurosurgeon is a doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system, including both surgical and non-surgical care. They evaluate whether a condition can be managed with medication or rehabilitation, or if surgery is needed to relieve symptoms, restore function or prevent further complications.
Neurosurgeons work closely with neurologists, radiologists, anaesthetists and rehabilitation experts to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient, whether surgical or non-surgical.
Some symptoms call for a routine checkup, whereas others need medical attention right away.
You should see a specialist soon, but it is not an emergency, if you have:
Seek care immediately if you experience:
If you are unsure which category applies, it is better to get it checked rather than wait it out.
Getting an accurate picture of what is actually happening inside the brain, spine, or nerves relies on a combination of imaging and functional tests. Common ones include:
Neurosurgeons at the CK Birla Hospital treat a wide range of conditions, including brain tumours, aneurysms and AVMs, herniated or slipped discs, spinal stenosis, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, hydrocephalus, and nerve injuries.
If surgery turns out to be necessary, patients are offered options such as:
Neurosurgery involves complex decisions, and choosing the right hospital is just as important as choosing the right surgeon. At the CK Birla Hospital, Gurgaon, our patients benefit from specialist expertise, advanced technology and coordinated care designed to support every stage of treatment and recovery.
Our strengths:
A neurologist diagnoses and manages brain, spine, and nerve conditions majorly through medication and therapy. A neurosurgeon handles the same range of conditions but is also trained to operate when surgery is the right course of treatment.
Neurosurgeons treat brain tumours, spinal disc problems, aneurysms, epilepsy, nerve compression, hydrocephalus, and chronic back or neck pain caused by spinal conditions, among others.
Consult one for persistent headaches, chronic back or neck pain, numbness or weakness in the limbs, seizures, or any diagnosed brain or spine condition. Sudden severe symptoms like a thunderclap headache or head injury need immediate care.
Not always. Many conditions today are treated through minimally invasive techniques that use smaller incisions and allow quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Yes. Neurosurgeons evaluate brain tumours through imaging and where needed, perform surgery to remove or reduce the tumour, usually working alongside oncologists for further treatment.
