Conditions We Treat
For most patients, the thought of surgery stirs up anxiety, especially when surgery involves the brain or spine.
CSNA provides quality, compassionate care that spans all areas of brain and spinal disease including tumors, vascular disorders, trauma, and degenerative conditions.
At Colorado Springs Neurological Associates, our neurosurgeons are board-certified medical doctors who have mastered specialized training and completed lengthy residency programs to perform neurosurgery.
Some of the conditions our neurosurgeons treat include:
- Benign brain tumors
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Cervical disc herniation
- Cervical spinal stenosis
- Failed back syndrome
- Head trauma
- Hemifacial spasm
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Lumbar spondylolisthesis
- Lumbar stenosis
- Malignant brain tumors
- Meningioma
- Pituitary tumors
- Scoliosis
- Skull base tumors
- Spinal compression fractures
- Spinal deformity
- Spinal trauma
- Thoracic disc herniation
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Ulnar nerve compression
- Vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma)
While our neurosurgeons can provide an array of surgical procedures, their treatment offerings or recommendations also extend to nonsurgical methods.
Diagnosing a condition and coming up with a progressive treatment plan is common among most neurosurgeons. For example, back pain is often treated with anti-inflammatory drugs or nonsurgical therapies. If the condition progresses, however, and if surgery is indicated, then a neurosurgeon will perform the surgery.
In addition to skilled neurosurgeons, the CSNA roster also includes experienced neurologists, a neurophysiologist, pain management specialist, and professional support staff to best provide comprehensive care to our patients.

Procedures We Perform
The neurosurgical options available today have led to incredible advancements in patient care and outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery, for example, involves laparoscopic devices and remote-controlled manipulation of surgical instruments.
In spinal surgeries, minimally invasive techniques allow the muscle to be pulled to the side instead of cut through to reach the operative site. Patients recover much quicker and experience less pain post-operatively.
Common neurosurgery procedures we perform at Colorado Springs Neurological Associates include:
- Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
- Anterior cervical disc arthroplasty (Cervical disc replacement)
- Carpal tunnel release
- Chiari surgery
- Intrathecal catheter and pump placement
- Lumbar fusion
- Lumbar laminectomy
- Lumbar microdiscectomy
- Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia
- Minimally invasive lumbar fusion
- Posterior cervical fusion
- Posterior cervical foraminotomy
- Resection of brain tumor
- Resection of pituitary tumor
- Spinal cord stimulator
- Spinal deformity
- Spinal fluid shunting
- Spinal tumor resection
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (CyberKnife)
- Surgery for head trauma
- Thoracic discectomy
- Thoracic fusion
- Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
- Ulnar nerve release
- Vagal nerve stimulator
At CSNA, our neurosurgeons are committed to patient outcomes, so we utilize a Quality Outcomes Database (QOD) to track quality of surgical care for common surgical procedures.
We know the decision to have surgery can be a challenging one for patients. CSNA’s holistic approach to patient care ensures every patient has agency in the decision-making process.
