Frequently asked questions

A neurosurgeon diagnoses and surgically treats conditions of the brain, spine and nerves, including brain tumours, slipped (herniated) discs, spinal cord and head injuries, hydrocephalus, aneurysms and other cerebrovascular disorders, and nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Many neurosurgeons also manage these conditions without surgery when that is the better option.
Start with a neurologist for symptoms such as headaches, seizures, dizziness, numbness or memory problems; they diagnose and treat neurological conditions with medicines and therapy. A neurosurgeon is the right specialist when a scan shows a problem that may need surgery, such as a tumour, a disc pressing on a nerve or bleeding in the brain. If you are unsure, book a consultation and the doctor will refer you if needed.
Seek emergency care immediately for a sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, loss of consciousness, a seizure, or loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain. For ongoing back or neck pain with numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, book the earliest available appointment.
Yes. Many neurosurgeons on Global Neuro and Spine Care offer video consultations, which suit a first opinion, a review of scan reports or a follow-up. Use the Consultation Type filter to see who is available online, then choose a slot and book. If the doctor needs to examine you in person, they will advise an in-clinic visit.
Bring all previous scans (MRI, CT, X-ray) with their reports, earlier prescriptions and test results, and a list of the medicines you take. On Global Neuro and Spine Care you can upload these to your medical records before the appointment so the doctor can review them in advance.
