Trigeminal neuralgia is described by patients as o

Trigeminal neuralgia is described by patients as one of the worse possible pains anyone can experience. This patient has undergone gamma knife radiation, a prior surgery, and now her medications are causing liver dysfunction. We completed the microvascular decompression (MVD procedure) in just over 2-hours and she’s overjoyed and pain free. Discharged home post-op day 1. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful surgeries in neurosurgery, all achieved through a small opening in the skull behind the ear about the size of a quarter.

Motion preservation versus fusion!!! In select patients, multi-level artificial disc surgery is, in our opinion, at the frontiers of the field. Restoring and/or maintaining your spine’s natural kinematics should always be the goal when possible.
.
Multi-level artificial disc surgery is not right for everyone. If you have questions, please call our office at (800) 899-0101 or email office@NSG-LA.com to schedule either an in-person or virtual consultation.

May Is Correct Posture Month. The Spine Surgeons

May Is Correct Posture Month.

The Spine Surgeons of Neurosurgery & Spine Group (NSG) remind us that sitting and standing with proper alignment improves blood flow, helps keep your nerves and blood vessels healthy, and supports your muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

People who make a habit of using correct posture are less likely to experience related back and neck pain.

Patient Testimonial for Dr. Amir Vokshoor of the Neurosurgery & Spine Group (NSG): “Outstanding in all ways!
My minimally invasive micro-decompression and laminotomy surgery was a great success.
Dr. Vokshoor is punctual, spends the time to explain and discuss options, and does NOT suffer from the God/Surgeon Syndrome.
This is a person that you can trust to have your interests at heart.
The results could not have been better. Thank you Dr. Vokshoor!"

Before and after standing X-rays of a patient with

Before and after standing X-rays of a patient with progressive degenerative scoliosis. This patient suffered from a worsening curve causing severe, debilitating back pain and something called “neurogenic claudication”, where nerve compression makes walking increasingly painful and disabling.

She is now post-op day 1 and is up walking with the therapist. She states that she’s already feeling better and is appreciative. She still has a lot of healing and rehabilitation to do, but we are all very pleased with her rapid progress. Technology, such as robotics and neuronavigation has definitely decreased surgical time and improved recovery in these complex procedures.

Disclaimer: Please note, scoliosis corrective surgery requires subspecialized training and not everyone is a candidate for this type of spine surgery. Only an experienced spine surgeon can assess whether this is appropriate for you. We are here to answer your questions. Please call our office at (800) 899-0101 or email office@NSG-LA.com to schedule a consultation.
