Movement Disorders in Neurology
Introduction to Movement Disorders
Movement disorders are neurological conditions that affect the speed, fluency, quality, and ease of movement. These disorders can manifest as excessive movement or a lack of movement and often have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. Our clinic specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various movement disorders to help patients regain control over their lives.
Types of Movement Disorders We Treat
Parkinson’s Disease
A progressive disorder that affects movement control, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment can greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.Essential Tremor
A common neurological condition that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking, usually in the hands. While often mild, essential tremor can become more severe and affect daily activities. Our team offers advanced treatments to manage this condition effectively.Dystonia
A disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that lead to abnormal postures and movements. Dystonia can affect a single part of the body or be more generalized. We offer specialized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.Huntington’s Disease
A genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, leading to movement, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care for patients and support for their families.Tourette Syndrome
A condition characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Our clinic provides a range of treatment options to help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.Ataxia
A group of disorders that affect coordination, balance, and speech due to dysfunction in the cerebellum. We offer diagnostic services and rehabilitation to help patients manage their symptoms effectively.
Our Approach to Treatment
Comprehensive Diagnosis
Our specialists utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including neuroimaging, genetic testing, and neurophysiological studies, to accurately diagnose movement disorders. Early and precise diagnosis is critical for effective treatment planning.Personalized Treatment Plans
We believe in a patient-centered approach. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s specific condition, symptoms, and lifestyle. Our multidisciplinary team includes neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists to provide holistic care.Medication Management
Medications can be highly effective in managing symptoms of movement disorders. Our team stays at the forefront of medical advancements to offer the latest and most effective pharmaceutical treatments.Surgical Interventions
For certain conditions like Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor, surgical options such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may be considered. Our neurosurgeons are experienced in performing these procedures with precision and care.Rehabilitation and Support Services
Beyond medical treatments, we offer extensive rehabilitation services to help patients improve mobility, balance, and overall function. Support groups and counseling are also available to help patients and their families cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of living with a movement disorder.
