Neurosurgeon in Bergamo: experts in treating the nervous system

Neurosurgery is the branch of surgery that deals with operations on the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (consisting of all other nerve elements). At Life Clinic in Bergamo, our team of highly skilled neurosurgeons offers accurate diagnoses and state-of-the-art treatments for a wide range of neurological conditions that require a surgical approach.

When to consult a neurosurgeon

It is recommended to consult a neurosurgeon in Bergamo if:
• you suffer from severe radicular pain or pain radiating to the limbs
• you have a suspected herniated disc with neurological deficit
        • you notice muscle weakness or persistent tingling
• you have had a recent head or spinal injury
• you have been diagnosed with a problem that may require surgery (such as nerve damage or compression)

Early neurological and neurosurgical evaluation can prevent serious complications.

Pathologies treated by the neurosurgeon

Our neurosurgeon in Bergamo deals with various diseases of the nervous system, including:

1. Peripheral nervous system disorders: trigeminal neuralgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, compression or post-traumatic neuropathy.
2. Spinal diseases: lumbar, lumbosacral and cervical disc herniations, degenerative diseases, spinal trauma.
3. Central nervous system diseases: aneurysms, vascular malformations, brain tumors, outcomes of cerebral hemorrhage or ischemic stroke, neurodegenerative, post-traumatic or post-infectious diseases.
4. Other diseases: nervous system diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson's, peripheral neuropathy caused by infection, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, exposure to toxic substances, or hereditary factors.

Diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical disorders

For an accurate diagnosis, the neurosurgeon may require specific examinations, including radiological tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans to obtain detailed images of the nervous system.

Based on the diagnosis, the neurosurgeon will plan the most appropriate treatment, which may include surgery for tumors, treatment for vascular disease, spine surgery, nerve surgery, and functional and stereotactic neurosurgery to treat Parkinson's disease, movement disorders, chronic pain, spasticity, and epilepsy.

In addition to surgery, at Life Clinic we also offer conservative treatments such as drug therapies, rehabilitative physiokinesiotherapy, hydrokinesiotherapy, and ultrasound-guided infiltrations for antalgic purposes.
