Neurosurgery addresses disorders of the brain, spine and nervous system where invasive or surgical treatment is required. The neurosurgical services provided at Baltijos Amerikos klinika are designed for patients suffering from chronic back or head pain, neurological disorders, or those considering the option of surgical intervention.
Neurosurgery services provided at the clinic
Consultation with a consultant neurosurgeon
A comprehensive specialist assessment for patients experiencing brain, spine or peripheral nerve disorders. During the consultation, symptoms and previous investigations are analysed, additional tests are ordered, and a treatment plan is developed. The consultant can help determine whether surgery is necessary or if conservative management should be applied. The consultation is beneficial both for chronic conditions and upon the onset of acute neurological disorders.
X-ray investigations
X-rays allow for a rapid assessment of the condition of the vertebrae, skull, or other bony structures. This is a standard, initial investigation that helps identify trauma, degenerative changes, or spinal instability.
Tomography scans
Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans help thoroughly assess the condition of the brain, spine and neural structures. These investigations are essential for diagnosing tumours, herniated discs, circulatory and other disorders, and help in the precise planning of treatment or surgery.
Lumbar or thoracic epidural steroid injections
An injection into the spinal epidural space (the area surrounding the spinal nerves) designed to relieve inflammation and pain caused by irritation or compression of the nerve roots. It is most commonly used for herniated discs, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) or chronic radiculopathy. This procedure, performed under X-ray or CT guidance, often helps to avoid surgical treatment.
Trigger point injection (block)
This procedure is used to treat muscle pain caused by tight, painful nodules (knots) that form in specific areas. Anaesthetics or anti-inflammatory substances are injected into them to relieve pain and muscle spasms. This is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that helps restore freedom of movement.
Anaesthetic injections near peripheral nerves
This is a treatment method where medication is injected adjacent to a specific nerve causing pain. The procedure is most commonly performed for nerve inflammation, neuropathic pain, or post-operative pain.
Neurosurgical operations
Evidence-based surgical interventions performed to treat diseases of the brain, spine, or peripheral nerves. These may be carried out for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, brain tumours, nerve compression, or trauma.
Do not let pain become a part of your daily life
Long-term pain, numbness, weakness, or other sensations are signs that should not be ignored. Consulting a neurologist and a neurosurgeon in a timely manner can help identify the true cause of your symptoms and implement effective treatment. Modern technology and precise diagnostics make it possible not only to alleviate symptoms but also to prevent more serious complications. Do not delay – consult a specialist and look after your health today.
