Neurosurgeons diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system, including back and neck pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, brain tumors, spinal tumors and stroke-related conditions.
Both specialties treat spinal disorders and perform spine surgery. Neurosurgeons receive specialized training in the brain, spine, spinal cord and nervous system, while orthopedic spine surgeons are trained in the musculoskeletal system and spinal biomechanics.
Many spinal tumors can be treated with surgery, often in combination with radiation therapy or other treatments. The best approach depends on the tumor type, location and overall health of the patient.
Some brain tumors may be managed with observation, radiation therapy, radiosurgery or other minimally invasive treatments. Treatment recommendations depend on the size of the tumor, its location and characteristics.
