20 In the intricate realm of medicine, two disciplines stand out as the guardians of our most vital organ – the brain. Neurology and neurosurgery are the dynamic duo of the nervous system. Neurology specialises in decoding the intricate language of the brain and its network, striving to diagnose and treat many conditions ranging from migraines to neurodegenerative diseases. Neurosurgery, on the other hand, is the surgical hero that takes the reigns when the brain or nervous system requires a more hands-on approach, such as repairing injuries, removing tumours, or correcting structural abnormalities. A complex set of factors, including economic development, healthcare infrastructure, training opportunities, and geographic location, has a dramatic influence on the availability of neurosurgeons around the world. Efforts to address these shortages and disparities take time and often necessitate extensive training programmes and improvements to healthcare infrastructure. National and international collaborations help to ensure that patients have access to the specialised care they need in the meantime. Dr Raúl Rincón-Navarro is billed as one of the finest neurosurgeons in Mexico. After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Guadalajara, and finding his passion for neurosurgery, Dr Raúl trained under Dr Daniel Rosenthal in Frankfurt. In 2018, he founded Neuro Spine & Pain Clinic in response to the demand of patients looking for a neurosurgeon in the local area. Since then, the clinic has expanded to welcome not only local patients, but those from out-of-state and overseas too. Dr Raúl tells us, ““We provide comprehensive care to a range of patients. Those who have insurance and those who pay outof-pocket. As a clinic, we specialise in neurosurgery, paediatric neurosurgery, neurology, paediatric neurology, rehabilitation, rheumatology, algology, psychology, nutrition, neuromodulation, 2022’s Most Innovative Medical Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic - London Breaking Down the Barrier Between Eastern and Western Aesthetic Treatments Aug23254 electrodiagnostic studies, and bone health, as well as offering primary GP care. Our goal is to solve the patient’s condition as quickly as possible and in the least invasive way.” Each specialism that the clinic offers contributes to the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing well-being of its patients. NSP Clinic aims to enable its patients to have the best possible quality of life. By establishing a correct diagnosis from the outset, the clinic defines the basis for future decisions and treatment plans. NSP Clinic’s diagnostic services benefit from a range of state-ofthe-art technologies including Dexa-Scan. This full-body scanner is FDA and EMA-approved and offers an accurate method for measuring body composition, offering clinical staff an invaluable view of the patient’s all-around health. Using an integrative management approach, looking at the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects as well as the physical, the team works to help its patients regain health both inside and out. Using approaches including nutritional assessment and psychoemotional therapy, the team is able to explore a wide range of recommendations to aid full recovery. Offering finely tuned pain control plans, using the application of conservative treatments and procedures, NSP Clinic only recommends surgical intervention where strictly necessary. NSP Clinic lists its values as ethics, excellence, commitment, and communication. As the first neuro spine clinic in the state, it is setting the bar high with its patient-centric comprehensive team approach. With so many specialisms in-house, the time spent waiting for treatment is drastically reduced and keeps patient expenses to a minimum. Patients are able to access a holistic range of treatments and recommendations that address not only the issue but also the route cause. Dr Raúl says, “We care about every one of our patients; we want to help them recover their health in an integral way. That sets us apart. We know that each patient has different needs and we take the time to understand them. It’s important to us that the patient, and their family, know that we are working with them, side by side, to achieve our goal of remedying their condition. We measure our success by the happiness of each patient by the time they finish treatment with us.” Having recently moved to new and bigger premises, NSP Clinic is now turning its attention to offering ambulatory diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to patients in the community and beyond. Its new ambulatory surgery centre is currently a work in progress. Although NSP Clinic is going from strength to strength, the clinic is still faced with some challenges. Dr Raúl explains, “It’s not always easy for us to compete with other cities on cost, especially for surgical procedures. It’s difficult because Cabo is considered a luxury vacation destination. It’s almost like an island, and our supply chain is more costly than in other locations. It’s for Neuro Spine & Pain Clinic (NSP Clinic) provides comprehensive care to neurological patients from around the world.
