The Gamma Knife Perfexion uses the precision of 192 gamma beams to non invasively treat trigeminal neuralgia, brain tumors and other neurological and neurovascular disorders on an outpatient basis. That means less pain, faster recovery and fewer complications. CJW’s Neuroscience & Gamma Knife Center's private suites were designed with patient comfort in mind. Learn more about Gamma Knife at CJW.

We stay at the cutting-edge by offering some of the most advanced technologies at our Neuroscience and Gamma Knife Center.

  • Gamma Knife
  • Trilogy
  • LINAC X-Knife

Knife can be used to treat
Trigeminal Neuralgia?

CJW has the only 3-D digital bi-plane angiography unit (3DRA) in the area

The 3DRA is effective in diagnosing conditions involving blood vessels or tumors in the brain & spine. Using this new technology, our neuro interventionalists can view faster, better quality images with the detail they need to effectively diagnose or treat a condition while patients enjoy the quick recovery.

Getting stroke treatment within the first three hours of the onset of symptoms, could mean the difference between recovery and permanent brain damage or death. At CJW, both of our Emergency Centers — Chippenham and Johnston-Willis — are poised to act fast. This prompt, expert stroke care is one reason CJW has been named Richmond’s first certified Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

CJW Medical Center now offers the Stroke Peer Visitor Program, in which former stroke patients bring encouragement and hope to stroke patients and their families.
