Neurosurgery
UnityPoint Clinic Neurosurgery – Waterloo offers conservative management of spinal conditions, surgical intervention when clinically indicated and emergent intervention when critical.
Now, thanks to minimally invasive techniques, you can expect a shorter recovery time, which allows you to get back to activities and work quicker.
In addition, we're integrating your care with other providers and departments – such as Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Physical Medicine Rehab, Orthopedics and Neurology – for a more comprehensive approach to your care and recovery.
We provide treatment to injured workers and aim for a faster recovery to minimize employment loss. Our staff will work with your insurance and case managers, which allows you to focus on recovery.
