Bringing Together Expertise and Compassion
- Whole-Person Neurology Care
-
With our dedication to whole-person care, you’ll find a neurology team that’s passionate about caring for you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At AdventHealth Altamonte Springs, we bring together an extended group of neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses, physicians, and other experts to care for you with unrelenting commitment from the moment you enter our facility. Plus, we supplement that care with educational resources, support groups, and nurturing rehabilitation. Here, you’ll find a winning combination of expertise and compassion to help you heal and recover.
- Quick and Accurate Diagnosis
-
Gaining a clear understanding of your condition or illness is the first step in getting you on the path back to wellness. After all, neurological issues – from persistent headaches and dizziness to sudden paralysis and difficulty balancing – can make anyone take pause. That’s why we take each symptom seriously, combining our depth of screening resources, extended team of experts, and deep understanding of the nervous system to work quickly and efficiently to give you the answers you need.
We’ll first talk with you, gathering a full picture of your health and of you as a person. Then we may recommend a range of tests – such as MRIs and CT scans – to take a closer look inside your brain. At each step and before each test, we’ll be there to guide you, explain anything complex or potentially confusing, and be as helpful as we can possibly be.
- Advanced Treatments for Your Neurology Care
-
The most complex system in your body calls for the most advanced care. That’s our specialty. We take a comprehensive and compassionate approach to you, using some of the best tools and the most proven strategies to help treat a range of neurological diseases and conditions. Some can be treated with nonsurgical options, like medications for stroke or physical therapy for spinal stenosis. But for those who need extra support, our highly trained neurological surgeons are here for you.
- A Leader in Stroke Care. Leading the Charge for You.
-
You’re proactive about your neurological care and wellness. But emergencies can still happen. The NeuroScience Institute Stroke Center at AdventHealth Altamonte Springs is always ready to help diagnose and treat you. From the moment you walk into our facility, your care is our priority. Since time is of the essence, we’ll be sure to move you through screening to treatment quickly and efficiently. And because caring for strokes can extend far beyond your visit, you’ll be supported for the weeks and months to come by our dedicated physical therapy and support groups.

Neurology Services We Offer
-
Physical Therapy
Helps people increase mobility and function by using various movements, exercises or electrotherapy
-
Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
Similar to vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty may be used on patients with compression fractures in the spine. Kyphoplasty offers the potential to restore bone height in the vertebra and reverse deformity of the spine. We offer both treatments, allowing specialists to choose the correct treatment for each patient
-
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) requires only a small incision in the abdomen. Through this incision, surgeons insert a small tube with a light and camera lens on the end
-
Discectomy
Surgical removal of the whole or a part of an intervertebral disc
-
Laminectomy
Laminectomy, also called decompression, is surgery to remove the lamina — the back part of the vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Laminectomy enlarges your spinal canal, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis)
-
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is an open surgical procedure that usually involves cutting into the back to perform the fusion of vertebrae
-
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a type of spinal surgery in which the surgeon makes small incisions in the lower back to access lumbar vertebrae in need of fusion
-
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front (anterior) of the body to remove all or part of a herniated disc from in between two adjacent vertebrae (interbody) in the lower back (lumbar spine), then fusing, or joining together, the vertebrae on either side of the remaining disc space using bone graft or bone graft substitute
-
Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the side of the body to treat spinal disorders and reduce long-term back or leg pain that has not responded to other treatments, such as steroid injections, physical therapy and pain medication
-
Pain Management
Pain management is the medical specialty born out of the need for treating all types of pain, including musculoskeletal, spinal and neuropathic pain disorders
-
Spinal Cord Stimulation
This is typically a technology reserved for patients who have failed other conservative treatments including injection-based therapies. In spinal cord stimulation, electrical leads are inserted into the epidural space via a needle under live imaging. Through these leads, small electrical currents are applied to the areas of the spinal cord involved in pain
-
Total Disc Replacement
Total disc replacement is a reversible alternative that avoids many of the drawbacks of spinal fusion, while preserving motion, restoring height and keeping the stress along the spine in balance
-
Epidural Steroid Injection
An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine. These steroids function as a potent anti-inflammatory medication, and using live x-ray imaging the injection deposits this medication very close to the site of the pain
Neuroscience Institute
The neurological team at AdventHealth Altamonte Springs is backed by the world-class AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute. This assures that you have direct access to some of the most advanced treatment options for neurological disorders and cutting-edge, clinical research trials.
