and specialists at Methodist provides advanced care to help manage symptoms
of neurological disorders.

Neurology Treatments We Offer
At Methodist, we use many different treatment modalities to help manage
symptoms of neurological disorders. Treatments we offer include:
-
Medication: We use medications to manage symptoms and try to slow the progression
of many neurological conditions. When started early, medications may help
prevent or reduce the risk of further health complications.
-
Injections: Neurologists at Methodist use injections for pain management and to help
reduce inflammation that may impact your ability to move.
-
Minimally invasive surgery (interventional radiology): Neurosurgeons at Methodist use smaller incisions to perform precise operations.
We use minimally invasive techniques to treat many neurological conditions,
including spinal disorders, stroke, and tumors.
-
Neurostimulation devices: These devices help treat many different neurological conditions, like
chronic pain and urinary incontinence, through gentle and targeted electrical
stimulation.
