Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a specialized medical field that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases or injuries related to the central nervous system. This includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

The main goal of neurosurgery is to improve the patient's quality of life by addressing disorders such as brain tumors, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and spinal disorders. It involves a complex and delicate surgical procedure that requires precision, knowledge and experience. At Tanner Health, we offer cranial, brain and spine surgery.

Cranial surgery

Cranial surgery involves precise procedures within the skull to address brain, meninges, and skull base conditions. Our skilled neurosurgeons handle brain tumors, vascular malformations, traumatic brain injuries and more with precision and care.

Brain surgery

Focusing on brain tissue conditions, brain surgery includes tumor removal, epilepsy treatment and neurological disorder management. Our neurosurgeons ensure successful outcomes with expertise and technology.

Reducing your risk

In addition to treatment, we place significant emphasis on the importance of brain health and the implementation of preventive measures to reduce the necessity for interventions. 

To improve your brain health:

  • Get regular exercise
  • Eat a balanced diet
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Ensure mental stimulation

By encouraging lifestyle modifications, early detection of neurological issues, and effective management of risk factors, individuals are able to proactively care for their brain health.

How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story
How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life. But “normal” can vary — what truly matters is knowing your own rhythm and noticing when things change.
