Conditions & Treatments

Our multispecialty team of physicians and care teams diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions and injuries that affect the spine, brain and peripheral nerves. Patients and families can learn more about the conditions treated by our neuroscience center team by browsing our video library. This library also includes printable educational materials on specific conditions.

If your health needs require a different treatment we will help you get the care you need. Contact Southeast Health NeuroSpine Center for more information or to schedule an appointment at 334-793-8804.

NeuroSpine Center does not offer or suggest Laser Spine Surgery due to lack of evidence that it would be beneficial for our patients. Click here for more information.

We are proud to utilize spine navigation technology in our surgeries. This allows our physicians to precisely track the location of surgical instruments throughout the procedure and enables clear visualization and surgical navigation of every segment in the spine.

Southeast Health is the only medical center in the region to provide your neurosurgeon with technology to better see the things that need to be seen during brain and spine surgery. This technology can give your surgeon the ability to be more accurate, and improve safety.

The benefits of the O-Arm/StealthStation:

  • Better images can help reduce the time you are under anesthesia.
  • It can reduce radiation exposure levels from imaging.
  • It can reduce the overall time you are in surgery.
  • It can give your surgeon the tools he or she needs to perform at a higher level
  • In many cases, the O-Arm/StealthStation can help optimize the procedure, which can lead to better results and less risk of repeat surgery.

The O-Arm/StealthStation uses a computerized navigation system that allows your surgeon to better map out your surgical plan. The system provides continuous navigation of the movement and location of surgical instruments, providing more accuracy and precision during surgery.

If you are considering brain or spine surgery, you might benefit from this leading-edge technology. To learn more talk with your physician, or call 334-793-8804.
