Imagine being unable to speak, learning you have a brain tumor, struggling with a spine condition, or not recognizing your family. These are the serious effects of conditions of the brain, spine and nervous system.

Improve your peace of mind and quality of life, with the neurology and neurosurgery team leading treating these conditions for almost 100 years.

Our 70+ providers specialize in advanced neurological care. Your treatment plan will be tailored to you and will explore every possible option. You’ll also have access to treatments backed by the latest research including services that are only available in a handful of places worldwide.

At U-M Health, we are always collaborating, like in our weekly brain cancer and tumors board meeting. More than 30 specialists shape each patient’s treatment plan, together.  

Care should be as convenient as it is comprehensive. So we strive to have all the specialists you need working under one roof. That includes the nation’s first neuro interventional suite, which makes it possible to detect and repair strokes, brain aneurysms, and rare conditions all in the same room. 

Our programs go beyond treating your symptoms to raising your standard of living. Brain health affects more than your body. That’s why we offer more, from social workers to vocational counselors, to functional wellness and beyond.
