This is the carotid stent that keeps Steve’s blood flowing.

This is Steve’s blood flowing.

New, minimally invasive

procedure provides relief

for those at risk of stroke.

A tiny stent positioned in the

carotid artery restores blood

flow. Within 24 hours, most

patients are back in the flow

of their lives.

This is stroke care. This is spine care.

Be alert to the symptoms of a stroke: slurred

speech, blurred vision, numbness, dizziness or

confusion. If a loved one seems at risk, get to

Central Baptist Hospital as quickly

as possible. Our Primary Stroke

Center offers emergency care

in the crucial first hours of

stroke. Beyond that, it provides

a comprehensive path to recovery,

from acute care to rehabilitation.

The Center recently earned a Gold Seal from the

Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals.

It cited our experienced stroke-prevention team

and our success with the clot-dissolving drug

TPA, which, administered in a stroke’s early

stages, can have remarkable results.

“Oh, my aching back!” Injuries to the spine

can be painful and disabling. Surgery can bring

relief, but until recently, recovery could take

up to a year.

Now, backs get back to normal faster, thanks

to minimally invasive microsurgery performed

at Central Baptist Hospital. Microsurgery

allows doctors to repair many common spine

injuries – such as herniated discs — with an

incision smaller than an inch.

Through this incision, surgeons guide precise

instruments, some smaller than a dime. Patients

recover sooner, with less discomfort. The

healed incision: barely noticeable. Life: back.

This is pain care.

This is care.

It’s all connected — your brain, spine and nervous system, partners in an intricate

network of 100 billion neurons flowing through your body, enabling senses, movement,

thought and emotion. The Neuroscience Center at Central Baptist Hospital is dedicated

to excellence in these important, related areas of care. Our world-renowned doctors

and neuroscientists focus on respective disciplines but treat the patient as a whole, with

the finest technology, treatment options and staff. Advanced neuroscience, without

compromise. Because, sometimes, it is brain surgery.

Nobody can “feel your pain.” But we can help

stop it.

Central Baptist Hospital specializes in reducing

or eliminating pain for those who suffer as a

result of strokes, spinal cord injuries, migraines,

arthritis, injuries and chronic conditions such as

reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

Our experts in pain medicine create

individualized programs for those in need, using

combinations of drug therapy, nerve blocks,

exercise and psychological techniques.

With our help, you’ll feel better.

This is neuroscience.
