When Should You See a Neurosurgeon?

How your neurosurgeon in Sugar Land, TX, can help you

A neurosurgeon is an expert at diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. What sets a neurosurgeon apart from a neurologist is that a neurosurgeon can also perform surgery for conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system. Dr. Rajesh Bindal at Texas Spine & Neurosurgery Center in Sugar Land, TX, provides a wide range of neurology and neurosurgery services.

So, when should you see a neurosurgeon? There are a few acute signs and symptoms which may indicate you should see a neurosurgeon. These include:

  • Loss of grip strength in your hands and fingers
  • Frequent headaches which don’t resolve quickly
  • Difficulty moving, loss of dexterity, or uncontrolled body movements
  • Seizures, convulsions, or loss of consciousness

When you visit a neurosurgeon, your neurosurgeon will perform a comprehensive medical examination, including recording your signs and symptoms, any medications you are taking, recent illnesses, and hospitalizations. Your examination may also include:

  • Imaging, including x-rays, MRI, PET and CT scans, EEG, or MEG
  • Lab tests, to check for underlying diseases which could cause your symptoms
