Semmes Murphey Clinic, PC

The work our physicians do reaches far beyond our clinic walls. At the recent Congress of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting, our team led conversations, shared research, and taught surgical techniques alongside neurosurgeons from across the globe.

They presented on new technology in spine surgery, advanced treatment options for brain bleeds, minimally invasive skull-base surgery techniques, advanced methods to restore blood flow to the brain, and more. Semmes Murphey physicians are helping shape how neurosurgery is practiced today and bringing that expertise directly to our patients here at home.

If you would like your brain or spine care handled by a world-class team, our specialists are here to serve you.

Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet can be an early sign of a spine issue. These sensations may occur when the nerves that run from the spine out to the arms or legs are being compressed or irritated. When these symptoms become frequent, it’s important to take Dr. Jock Lillard’s advice and see a specialist.

The spine protects the spinal cord, which influences strength, balance, and everyday movement. So even small changes in sensation can be meaningful.

If you’ve been experiencing numbness or tingling that isn’t going away, scheduling an evaluation is a good next step.
