Movement Disorders
Patients with suspected a suspected movement disorder receive a detailed clinical evaluation, laboratory testing and imaging as appropriate. If applicable, a comprehensive program of medications and therapies are initiated. Patients are also provided with educational resources, programming, and have access to novel surgical and research treatments. Support group resources for the patient and family are also available.
Patients who are interested in surgical intervention for their Parkinson’s disease are able to receive Deep Brain Stimulation. This surgical procedure allows qualified candidates to have a small electrical generator suppress tremors and improvement movements. Additionally, patients have access to specific support groups and programs. Patients with dystonia, who qualify, may be candidates for botulinum toxin injections to release muscle stiffness.
The movement disorder specialist and movement disorder nurse work closely with primary care providers and therapist to provide care that keeps up with the disease process. In-home therapies may be advocated and we partner with rehabilitation programs specific for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. Patients are able to participate more fully in their lives with an optimized approach.
