Headaches, Back Pain? Neurologist vs Neurosurgeon Explained! 🩺

Описание: Meet Dr. Alok Agarwal, Brain & Spine Neurosurgeon, who explains what neurosurgeons do and why brain and spine health is as important as heart health!

🧠 WHAT IS A NEUROSURGERY?

You know about heart specialists, eye doctors, and dentists - but when it comes to your BRAIN, SPINE & NERVES, the most important specialist is a NEUROSURGEON!

⚠️ COMMON MISCONCEPTION:

Many people think neurosurgeons ONLY do surgery. WRONG! Neurosurgeons treat even the smallest problems related to brain, spine, and nervous system - from diagnosis to treatment.

🚨 WARNING SIGNS - NEVER IGNORE:

Frequent headaches (recurring or severe)
Chronic back pain (persistent or worsening)
Weakness in hands or legs (numbness or tingling)
Loss of sensation (pins and needles feeling)
Neck pain radiating to arms
Balance problems or dizziness
Memory issues or confusion
Seizures or convulsions

💡 WHY THESE SYMPTOMS MATTER: These could be EARLY WARNING SIGNS of serious conditions like:

Brain tumors
Spinal disc problems (herniated disc, slip disc)
Nerve compression
Stroke warning signs
Spinal cord issues
Neurological disorders

🏥 WHEN TO CONSULT A NEUROSURGEON?

Headaches that don't improve with medication
Back pain lasting more than 6 weeks
Sudden numbness or weakness
Difficulty walking or coordinating
Vision problems with headache
Severe neck pain after injury
Loss of bladder/bowel control (EMERGENCY!)
