What we treatAurora provides diagnosis and treatment for most major neurological conditions. Acoustic neuroma | Arteriovenous malformation | Balance disorders | Brain tumor | Carotid stenosis | Carpal tunnel syndrome | Cerebral aneurysm | Disk herniation | Epilepsy | Hydrocephalus | Lumbar stenosis | MS | Parkinson's disease | Peripheral nerve disorders | Spinal fractures | Spinal tumors | Stroke | Subarachnoid hemorrhage | Trigeminal neuralgia | Ulnar nerve entrapment Acoustic neuroma treatment optionsAn acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor of the 8th cranial nerve, the acoustic nerve, which is involved with the sense of hearing and with control of balance. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treatment optionsAVM is a condition involving a tangle of abnormally connecting arteries and veins. AVM is usually present at birth or shortly thereafter. Balance/vestibular disorders treatment optionsCommon disorders include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis and Meniere's disease. Brain tumor treatment optionsThese include tumors of the brain itself and metastatic tumors, or tumors that originate elsewhere in the body and travel through the bloodstream to the brain. Carotid stenosis treatment optionsCarotid stenosis is narrowing of the carotid arteries, which run up each side of the neck and provide blood to the brain. It can result in a stroke or can cut off blood flow to parts of the brain. Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment optionsCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a disorder of the hand and wrist in which a nerve becomes compressed and irritated, resulting in pain, tingling and numbness. Cerebral aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment optionsA cerebral or intracranial aneurysm is a dilation or ballooning of an arterial blood vessel in the brain. If an intracranial aneurysm ruptures, it results in a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of stroke. Epilepsy treatment optionsEpileptic seizures can cause changes in behavior, level of consciousness, sensory perception and motor activity. Herniated disk treatment optionsRuptured or slipped discs occur when the cartilage shock absorber between the bones of the spine displaces into the spinal canal, causing compression of a spinal nerve. Hydrocephalus treatment optionsHydrocephalus is caused by accumulation of fluid in the brain. Once known as "water on the brain," it causes potentially harmful pressure on the tissues of the brain. Lumbar stenosis treatment optionsLumbar spine stenosis is a narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal, causing pain in the back and lower extremities, weakness or numbness in the legs, and in severe cases, bowel or bladder disturbances. Multiple sclerosis treatment optionsMS damages the protective covering (myelin) of the nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord, leaving multiple areas of lesions that interfere with the conduction of nerve impulses throughout the body. Parkinson's disease treatment optionsThis slowly progressive neurological condition results in deterioration of nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. Peripheral nerve disorders treatment optionsPeripheral nerves are located outside the brain and spinal cord. Disorders, or peripheral neuropathy, typically occur from damage from injury or illnesses, such as diabetes, lupus or AIDS, or from diseases of the nerves themselves. Spinal fractures treatment optionsMost fractures of the spine are caused by osteoporosis. In osteoporotic fracture, vertebrae within the fragile spinal structure collapse or compress, causing "dowagers" hump and shortened height, along with chronic and severe pain, reduced mobility and function, and loss of independence. Spinal tumors treatment optionsA spinal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the spinal cord, spinal canal or between the membranes covering the spinal cord. Stroke treatment optionsA stroke, or brain attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. When this occurs, the brain cells are deprived of oxygen and they do not function properly. Trigeminal neuralgia treatment optionsTrigeminal neuralgia (also known as Tic doloroux) is a condition of excruciating facial pain. Ulnar nerve entrapment treatment optionsWhen you hit your "funny bone," you actually bump the ulnar nerve. If the nerve becomes inflamed from a more severe injury, it can become trapped between bones and other tissues in the cubital tunnel at the inside of the elbow.
