Operative & Non-Operative Treatment of Brain and Spinal Disorders
Treatment for brain and spinal disorders can be either operative (surgical) or non-operative (non-surgical), with the latter often attempted first to address pain and other symptoms. Non-operative treatments include medication, physical therapy, injections (like epidural or facet joint injections), and bracing.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, especially if they are sudden, severe, or accompanied by other neurological symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention.
