FAQs
Do you have an office in McDonough, GA?
De Novo Brain & Spine’s office is located in nearby Stockbridge, Georgia, about 9 miles from McDonough (roughly a 15-minute drive via US-23/I-75). We regularly see patients from McDonough and the surrounding Henry County area at this location.
Is a neurosurgeon the same as a spine surgeon?
Not exactly. A spine surgeon may be a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic spine surgeon. Both can treat spine problems, but a neurosurgeon has advanced training in the brain, spine, spinal cord, and nerves.
That difference can matter when spine symptoms involve nerve pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or pressure on the spinal cord. Dr. Shannon is a board-certified neurosurgeon who treats spine conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, in addition to brain and peripheral nerve conditions. For McDonough patients with neck pain, back pain, sciatica, or nerve-related symptoms, seeing a neurosurgeon can provide a more complete look at how the spine and nervous system are connected.
What spine and neurological conditions do you treat for McDonough patients?
We treat neck and back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis, as well as brain tumors, hydrocephalus, and peripheral nerve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
