At Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia's team of neurosurgeons takes a personalized approach to treating neurological spine conditions. We use non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to help you heal faster and deliver the best possible outcome.
Spinal problems can be very complex and can impact your quality of life in many ways. Conditions such as stenosis, herniated discs, trauma, and tumors, can affect the nerves, causing pain, weakness, numbness, or even paralysis. It is important to have a specialized team skilled in understanding and treating these specific conditions, so you receive the proper care every step of the way.
When the spinal nerves in the neck or back are injured or in distress, they can cause a range of mild to severe symptoms, including pain, weakness, or loss of sensation in the arms and legs.
