Alzheimer’s is a specific kind of dementia marked by a progressive loss of memory and other cognitive abilities.
This condition results from a weakened blood vessel in the brain that begins to bulge. If the vessel bursts, it can cause a life-threatening stroke that requires immediate medical attention.
Abnormal growths of tissue on the central spine or brain may be benign or malignant. If the tumor is malignant, we partner with the cancer specialists at Mitchell Cancer Institute for treatment.
In this neurological disorder, brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures, periods of unusual behavior and sometimes loss of awareness.
Any of a group of neurological disorders—such as Parkinson's disease—marked by abnormal, uncontrolled movements in a person’s body may be classified as movement disorders.
With this chronic disease, the body’s immune system attacks the layer of tissue that protects nerve fibers. The damage that occurs prevents the brain from properly sending signals throughout the body.
This group of disorders affect the nerve cells, or neurons, that control voluntary muscle movement. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one such disease.
While there is no cure for Parkinson's, a long-term degenerative movement disorder that affects the central nervous system, we offer treatment to improve symptoms.
Damage to the spinal cord, resulting from physical trauma or non-traumatic causes such as infections, can affect temporary or permanent symptoms that vary from numbness to paralysis.

These vascular anomalies are present at birth and occur when veins or vessels cluster abnormally. They can show up at different ages.
