Common questions about Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery

What conditions does Dr Aliashkevich treat?

Dr Ales Aliashkevich treats a wide range of conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, chronic back pain, nerve issues, and brain surgery cases. Your health and recovery are his top priority.

What can be expected during a consultation?

During your consultation, Dr Ales will thoroughly assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and recommend personalised treatment options. He values communication, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

What are minimally invasive procedures?

Minimally invasive procedures involve smaller incisions, leading to quicker recovery times and less pain post-surgery. These advanced techniques allow for effective treatment with reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.

How can I manage my pain effectively?

Dr Ales offers customised pain management strategies tailored to your specific needs. These options may include medication, physical therapy, and innovative pain relief treatments to help you regain control and comfort.

How do I know if I need spine surgery?

Spine surgery is usually considered when conservative treatments like physiotherapy, medications, and injections do not provide relief from pain or mobility issues.

What is the success rate of spinal surgery?

Success rates depend on the type of surgery and individual patient conditions, but minimally invasive spine surgeries generally have high success rates in relieving pain and restoring function.

What are the risks of neurosurgery and spine surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks, e.g., including infection, bleeding, thrombosis, stroke, heart attack, spinal cord and nerve damage. However, advanced techniques and experienced surgeons significantly reduce these risks.

How long does it take to recover from brain or spine surgery?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and patient, but most minimally invasive spine surgeries allow patients to resume normal activities within a few weeks.

Does health insurance cover neurosurgery or spine surgery in private hospitals?

Coverage depends on your health insurance provider and policy. It’s best to check with your insurer about what’s covered.

How soon can I return to work after brain or spine surgery?

It depends on the type of surgery and your occupation. Some patients return to desk jobs within a few weeks, while physically demanding jobs may require a longer recovery.

TAILORED PLAN

Therapeutic Interventions

Thorough evaluation and diagnosis, utilising advanced imaging techniques and neurophysiological testing, allows us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms. Once a diagnosis is established, Dr Aliashkevich collaborates closely with other specialists in Heidelberg and Melbourne to develop a tailored therapeutic plan designed to address your specific needs. It may include:

Interventional Procedures

In addition to traditional medical therapies, Dr Aliashkevich can offer a variety of minimally invasive interventional procedures to target pain and inflammation directly at the source, providing relief and promoting healing.

Physical Therapy and Hydrotherapy

Personalised exercise programs to improve posture, strength, flexibility, and mobility.

Rehabilitation

Critical component for postoperative recovery to maximise function, independence, and quality of life.

Specialist care in a welcoming and comfortable environment

Dr Aliashkevich wants his patients to be fully engaged in their treatment process and have a good understanding of their neurosurgical conditions. Hence, the rooms are equipped with large displays to review and discuss the imaging and make important decisions about the treatment options and available alternatives. We believe partnering with patients in their care is a modern gold standard for medical treatment and aim to deliver ethical and professional services to improve the quality of doctor-patient interactions. At the end of every patient’s visit, our office emails a summary of their conditions, including the diagnosis, history, examination findings, radiological results and recommended action plan.
