Conditions We Treat

The Hurley Neurological Center evaluates and treats a wide range of brain, spine, and nerve conditions — from common causes of neck and back pain to complex brain tumors. Below is a general overview of the conditions our team sees, grouped by category. This page is meant to help you recognize the kind of care we offer; it is not a substitute for an evaluation by your doctor. If you don’t see your condition listed, call us at 810-262-7030 — there’s a good chance we can still help.

Spine Conditions

Most people who come to us with neck or back pain are dealing with wear-and-tear changes in the spine rather than something rare. We start with a full evaluation and, whenever possible, a conservative treatment plan before considering surgery.

Brain Tumors

A brain tumor diagnosis is frightening, and tumors vary enormously in how they behave and how they’re best treated. Our team evaluates each case individually, in coordination with oncology and radiation specialists when needed.

Skull Base & Cranial Nerve Conditions

Skull base surgery calls for close coordination between neurosurgery and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialists, since these conditions sit at the crossroads of the brain, sinuses, and cranial nerves.

Vascular Conditions of the Brain & Spine

Blood vessel conditions in and around the brain and spine often require a specialized, minimally invasive approach. Our team works closely with interventional and cerebrovascular specialists on these cases.

Neurological & Nerve Conditions

Beyond tumors and structural spine conditions, our neurosurgeons treat a number of conditions involving the brain’s electrical activity and the nervous system’s structure.
