Consultation and clinical examination

There are many reasons to consult us for pain, sensitivity or motor problems, or simply to answer a question about a specific treatment. At the start of your consultation, it’s essential to explain your symptoms clearly, in your own words.

This history is supplemented by a clinical examination. Your doctor will observe the images and then issue a summary with diagnostic hypotheses that will lead to treatment, if a neurosurgical pathology is confirmed.

However, surgery is not always necessary. Some pathologies require regular check-ups, sometimes combined with medication.

Frequently asked questions

I don't have supplementary insurance. Does this mean I have to forego treatment at a clinic?

No, some clinics have LaMal benefit mandates, which can enable you to benefit from treatment even without supplementary insurance.

Can a herniated disc come back after surgery?

Yes, unfortunately. The recurrence rate varies from 3% to 15%, depending on the study. So it’s important to take good care of your back after surgery.

What's the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?

Neurologists focus on patients in consultation, establishing non-surgical solutions to treat diseases of the nervous system. In contrast, neurosurgeons perform surgery to treat central and peripheral nervous system pathologies, demonstrating their expertise in surgical practices through training, experience and research, including working closely with specialists in healthcare facilities to offer surgical treatment to patients requiring urgent intervention.
