Movement Disorders

Comprehensive care for a wide range of movement disorders

Movement disorders occur when muscles move uncontrollably or don't move when you want them to. The symptoms of a movement disorder largely depend on the type of condition you may have. People may have varying degrees of symptoms associated with the severity of the movement disorder and depending on the type of neurological issue.

We treat a number of movement disorders and conditions, including:

  • Parkinson's disease and related conditions
  • Hemifacial spasm
  • Blepharospasm
  • Dystonia​
  • Sialorrhea
  • Spasticity
  • Essential tremor
  • Huntington's disease and other chorea
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Multiple system atrophy
  • Ataxia
  • Tic disorders such as Tourette syndrome
