Our neurosurgeons are highly-trained experts with a vast knowledge of the brain, spine, and nervous system.
Hearing that you need surgery for a brain tumor or spinal injury can be a shock. The specialists at Luminis Health will walk with you through every step of your treatment, no matter your diagnosis. , Why Choose Luminis Health for Neurosurgery? Our neurosurgery department offers innovative treatments covering a range of brain and spinal diseases and injuries. Here's why you should choose Luminis Health for neurosurgery. We're high-tech, but close to home. We offer many neurosurgical treatments found at major academic medical centers, but in a more intimate environment. Because we're smaller, we can personalize service to your specific needs. We're a "one-stop shop." All the doctors you need to see are on one campus, so you don't have to run all over town for your appointments. That's especially important if you're seeing specialists from different departments. We take a multidisciplinary approach. We work closely with the oncology (cancer) department in treating brain tumors. Your care team may also include ICU doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and nurses. Our minimally-invasive surgical techniques require less downtime. We want to get you up and around and back to living a full life as soon as possible. Many of our patients go home a few days after surgery., What to Expect From Neurosurgery Knowing you need brain or spinal surgery can feel overwhelming. But today's surgical procedures are minimally invasive and don't require as much recovery time as they used to. Your specific treatment will depend on your condition, age, and overall health. Here are some things to keep in mind about brain or spinal surgery: You may or may not need neurosurgery for a spinal problem. You can see an orthopedic spine surgeon for some spinal conditions. However, if the problem is intradural — involving the spinal cord itself — you should see a neurosurgeon. You probably won't need to shave your head. The prep team may shave a tiny strip of hair to make an incision. They will make the incision behind your hairline to keep it covered. We get you up and around as soon as possible. The day after surgery, you'll begin working with a physical therapist. Many people can go home as soon as three or four days after surgery. (Of course, your recovery time depends on your condition. Traumatic brain injury may have a longer recovery time.) SRS treatments are done on an outpatient basis. If you're having SRS, you can go home the same day.

Foot and Ankle Pain
We bring together health professionals with advanced training and a wealth of experience in treating all kinds of foot and ankle pain.Common Foot and Ankle IssuesCarrying you through life can take a toll on your feet and ankles. When you're standing, your feet and ankles support your entire body weight. Activities like running place up to four times that much force on them. And in many parts of your feet and ankles, only a thin layer of skin protects your bones and nerves. All of this makes them vulnerable to issues.Common work- and sports-related injuries, fractures and deformities include:Achilles tendon rupture.Ankle and foot arthritis.Ankle and foot trauma.Bunions, hammertoes and claw toes.Congenital defects and acquired deformities.Fractures.Heel pain.Ligament sprains and tears.Pediatric and newborn deformities and injury.Plantar fasciitis.Post-traumatic reconstruction.Stress fractures.Tendonitis.The inner workings of these joints are complicated. Your feet alone are home to 66 joints and a quarter of all your bones. So diagnosing and treating foot and ankle problems requires very specialized knowledge and skills.That's exactly what our highly trained foot and ankle care team brings to your treatment. Our specialists have extensive experience treating problems from ingrown toenails and bunions to gout and clubfoot. We treat patients of all ages, from babies and teens to older adults.Whenever possible, we use non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy. Still, sometimes an operation is your best option. In that case, our surgeons use the latest methods. These reduce the time you have to spend in the hospital, if any. And after surgery, our physical therapists help improve pain and movement.
