The Brain, Spinal Cord and Nervous System Upper Michigan Neuroscience Center Head injury. Tumors of the brain and spinal cord. Numbness in the fingers or toes. Spinal cord injuries. These are some of the problems treated at the Upper Michigan Neuroscience Center.
Neurosciences focus on the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
The electrical signals of the nervous system move throughout the body to control movement, breathing, heart rate, the senses, and the ability to think and remember. Damage to the nervous system means more than an injury needing to heal. It could mean loss of memory, loss of control over movement, loss of speech, or other serious changes. Our goal is to discover problems as early as possible, begin treatment as quickly as possible, and help patients to have the best possible quality of life in spite of a neurological injury or illness. From the time a patient enters the hospital system until they are ready to leave, an entire team of experts handles treatment.
