Conditions We Treat

Ataxia is the lack of muscle condition in your arms and legs. It's caused by damage to a part of the brain called the cerebellum, which controls muscle coordination.

Athetosis causes slow movements of your arms, legs, hands, feet, neck, tongue, face, or torso. These movements are often described as "writhing" or "worm-like."

Ballism is a rare symptom of some neurological disorders, strokes, or tumors. It causes violent, uncontrollable motions on one side of your body, usually in your arm and shoulder.

Chorea is usually a symptom of other movement disorders, especially Huntington's disease. It causes muscle movements that you can't control.

Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes your muscles to contract, or spasm. This can cause you to have twisting movements that you can't control.

Huntington's disease is a rare disease that causes the nerve cells in the brain to break down. It affects many systems in your body and leads to movement, thinking, and psychiatric issues.

Multiple system atrophy is a rare condition that gradually damages the nerve cells in the brain. It affects your balance, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, bladder control, movement, and more.

Myoclonus is a sudden and brief muscle twitch that you can't control. There are two types of myoclonus.

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that disrupts normal function and communication between brain cells. It gets worse over time and mostly affects older adults (and more men than women). Common symptoms are tremor, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement and stooped posture.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare brain condition that damages the nerve cells in the area of the brain that control movement. It causes issues with walking, balance, eye function, and other body movements.

Tics are sudden movements or sounds that people can't control. They are repetitive and usually fast, and most common in children.

A tremor is a type of uncontrollable shaking or trembling movements. Tremors are most common in the hands, but can affect any part of the body.
