Neurosurgery
Surgical care for spinal nerve conditions, performed by specialists with advanced training in procedures involving the spine and nervous system.
Our specialty-trained doctors evaluate, diagnose, and treat the full range of neurosurgery conditions and injuries — always starting with the most conservative effective option, and offering advanced surgical care when it's needed.
Care is available at both our Torrington and Bristol offices, with on-site X-ray, physical and occupational therapy, and many procedures performed at the Litchfield Hills Surgery Center.
Common conditions we treat
- Nerve compression in the spine — herniated discs and stenosis pressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots
- Cervical myelopathy — spinal cord compression in the neck affecting hands, balance, and coordination
- Peripheral nerve compression — including carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes
- Complex spinal conditions — cases where spine and nervous-system expertise overlap
How we treat them
Treatment always starts with the most conservative effective option. Depending on your condition, your plan may include:
- Careful diagnosis with imaging and, when needed, nerve studies
- Conservative and injection-based care whenever appropriate
- Surgical decompression and stabilization using minimally invasive and navigation-guided techniques
When to see a doctor
Numbness, weakness, clumsiness of the hands, or changes in walking and balance alongside neck or back problems deserve prompt specialist evaluation — nerve symptoms treated early recover best.
