Neurological care

Neurological care is the practice of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and function of diseases relating to the nerves and nervous system. Neurologists and neurosurgeons treat disorders that affect the brain or spinal cord.

Our neurological treatments and services 

We offer comprehensive neurological health services, while making sure you have access to the type of care that is just right for you.

Brain and spinal tumor treatment

Brain and spinal tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). At HCA Florida Physicians, we have the expert physicians, resources and state-of-the-art technologies to treat both malignant and benign tumors.

Our neurological care teams work together — and with other specialists, as needed — for diagnostics, treatments and therapies as part of your comprehensive brain tumor care. This type of multidisciplinary care is essential to treat the tumor as well as any neurological complications (such as the tumor putting pressure on surrounding nerves) that may happen because of it.

Neuro-oncology

Our neurologists and neurosurgeons collaborate with our network's cancer specialists to offer complete neuro-oncology treatment for malignant spine tumors and brain cancer. This allows us to deliver a highly specialized plan of care, including advanced cancer treatments. 

Together with our network's cancer treatment program, we offer you complete care — from diagnosis and treatment through survivorship.

Spine care

Through our spine care program, we offer comprehensive diagnostics and treatments for diseases and disorders of the spine. Our specialists provide nonsurgical and surgical care for conditions affecting the whole spine, including the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.

Sometimes, medications, physical therapy and other noninvasive treatments can alleviate pain or discomfort from spine conditions. However, if nonsurgical means don't resolve your condition or pain, spine surgery may be suggested.

Neurosurgery

Our neurosurgeons specialize in the surgical intervention and treatment of neurological conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system. They use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, such as laser, endoscopic and robotic surgery.

Minimally invasive techniques involve small incisions, which typically lead to faster recoveries so you can get back on your feet as quickly as possible.

  • Brain tumor surgery
  • Cerebral-spinal shunts
  • Chiari malformation surgery
  • Craniectomy

Vascular and interventional neurological procedures

Some of the interventional procedures we perform include:

  • Cerebral and spinal angiography
  • Extracranial (carotid) and intracranial angioplasty and stenting
  • Extracranial and intracranial embolization
  • Intracranial endovascular coiling
  • Thrombectomy

Neurological rehabilitation

Neurological rehabilitation is a specialized type of physical therapy and rehabilitation. It is often necessary after a neurological injury, surgery or emergency, such as stroke. That's why we are pleased to connect our patients to neurological rehabilitation programs within our network.

This type of therapy focuses on restoring and improving cognitive abilities, movement and other functions essential to every day life. As part of your neurological rehabilitation, you may work with speech therapists, physical therapists and/or occupational therapists.

The therapy team communicates with your neurologist or neurosurgeon to create a rehabilitation plan specifically tailored to your condition, abilities and recovery.
