Spinal Tumors
Spinal tumor is an abnormal growth that can develop within the spinal canal or the covering of the spinal cord called dura or the bones of the spinal column called vertebrae. Tumors located along the spinal column are classified as cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral, while the tumors located within the spinal column are classified as intramedullary, extradural and extramedullary. Common symptoms of spinal tumors include chronic back pain, stiff back or neck, numbness or lack of sensation in legs and arms, muscle spasms and even paralysis.

Diagnostic techniques like X rays, bone scans and biopsy are used to detect the size, nature and position of spinal tumors. Cancerous spinal tumors are treated using multiple methods like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical resection using minimally invasive procedures.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by bouts of intense pain in the face. It is caused due to injuries or irritation of the trigeminal nerve, a nerve that provides sensation to the head and face. Even though trigeminal neuralgia is not life-threatening in nature, the intense pain disrupts daily activities. Simple acts like talking, smiling, chewing and brushing can trigger pain.
Frenkel Brain and Spine provides the correct treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, depending upon a host of factors. Surgery is performed only if medicines fail to relieve pain or a secondary cause like tumor or multiple sclerosis is causing the condition. Major surgical procedures include rhizotomy , peripheral neurectomy, microvascular decompression and radiosurgery.
Medications include anti-seizure medicines to block the pain signals and muscle relaxants like Baclofen.
