Setting the Standards for Neurology and Neurosurgery

Florida Hospital – One of the Best In the Nation
Florida Hospital’s Neuroscience Institute has been ranked one of the country’s best for the early detection and treatment of brain, spinal and central nervous system disorders. From Parkinson’s disease, strokes and brain tumors to degenerative disc disease and sleep disorders, Florida Hospital is at the leading edge in the education, treatment, research and care of patients with neurological and spinal illnesses and injuries.

Central Florida’s Primary Stroke Center
Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women. When a stroke occurs, minutes count. Florida Hospital treats more stroke patients annually than any other hospital system in the state. Working closely with emergency medical services (EMS), we are able to start treatment while the patient is in route, making the most of this critical timeframe. Once at the hospital, our team of specialists can help the patient not only survive their stroke, but get them on the road to recovery with extensive neurological rehabilitation services.

Back Pain an All Too Common Problem
According to studies, 70% of all women will suffer some back pain during their lives. Of these, 14% will suffer severe pain lasting two weeks or more and 7% will suffer chronic pain that can last more than six months. The lower back is especially vulnerable to issues with the spine and the nerve and muscle structure surrounding it. Our team of experienced neurosurgeons and rehabilitation specialists works with patients to reduce or eliminate this pain.
