Deep brain stimulation is a neuromodulation technique used by specialists to treat a wide range of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease

Blood vessel surgery in the brain

A brain aneurysm can be treated by performing two different forms of brain vessel surgery for example: the brain aneurysm can be clipped

Benign brain tumour treatment

Drug-induced movement disorder treatment

The brain and muscles communicate with each other using chemical messengers called neurotransmitters

Occipital nerve stimulation

Occipital nerve stimulation is a type of neuromodulation which uses electrical stimulation to alter the activity of certain nerves.

Sacral nerve stimulation

Sacral nerve stimulation is a type of neuromodulation therapy that uses small electrical impulses to alter the activity of certain nerves.

Image-guided spinal injections

Some causes of back pain can be treated by injecting medications into different parts of the spine; these are known as spinal injections.

Lesional surgeries for movement disorders

Some movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and tremor, occur because a specific part of the brain no longer functions as it should.
