Movement disorder and Parkinson's disease treatment

We’re here to help you live better

Movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, ataxia and essential tremors can affect your ability to move or the way you move. Our multidisciplinary team of San Diego neurosurgeons, neurologists, therapists and rehabilitation specialists provide excellent care to get you back to everyday life.

We offer innovative, expert care that can often ease symptoms and slow the progression of your condition. In most cases, symptoms are limited to problems with physical movement, though some disorders can also affect the brain and nervous system.

• Ataxia

• Atypical Parkinson’s disease symptoms

• Chorea

• Dystonia

• Essential tremor

• Huntington’s disease

• Motor and vocal tics

• Parkinson’s disease

• Spasticity

• Tardive dyskinesia and more

Get back to enjoying life on your terms

We understand that movement disorders can affect every part of your life — physically, mentally and emotionally. We offer a range of surgical and nonsurgical treatments and therapies that can help.

• Advanced medicine therapy

• Botulinum toxin injections

• Deep brain stimulation (DBS): A treatment option for movement disorders including, but not limited to, Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, and neurological conditions such as epilepsy. DBS is a neurosurgical procedure that uses implanted electrodes and electrical stimulation. The electrodes keep your symptoms under control, decrease the amount of medicine needed for treatment, and greatly improve your quality of life.

• Physical, occupational, behavioral and speech therapy: Your neurosurgeon and rehabilitation specialists work together to create a tailored rehabilitation plan prior to any surgical procedure. In most cases, your rehab plan begins prior to your treatment and continues after your surgery.
