Dr. Chozick’s Approach to Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is often thought of as brain surgery. Yes, a neurosurgeon works on the brain, but also on other parts of the nervous system. Your nervous system begins in your brain, goes through your spine and travels throughout your body. Dr. Chozick treats the entire nervous system, alleviating many painful conditions such as lower back and leg pain that can be caused by herniated disks or degenerative disk diseases, sciatica, pinched nerves and chronic pain, as well as traumatic injuries.

Dr. Chozick’s first step is to diagnose your condition and develop treatment options that are right for you. For example, before planning surgery, Dr. Chozick may prescribe physical therapy and pain management along with other non-surgical treatments. When surgery is warranted, Dr. Chozick takes the time to thoroughly explain the surgical procedure and what you can expect during your recovery.
