Welcome to the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center at Universal Hospital, where expertise and compassion unite to provide comprehensive care for individuals facing Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. Our dedicated team of neurologists and specialists is committed to enhancing the quality of life through accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ongoing support.

Understanding Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders

Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders encompass a group of neurological conditions that affect the control of body movements. Common movement disorders include Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and ataxia. At our center, we strive to improve understanding and awareness while offering specialized care for individuals with these conditions.

  • Gait Disturbance: A shuffling walk, imbalance, and difficulty lifting the feet.
  • Cognitive Impairment: Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and changes in executive function.
  • Urinary Incontinence: Issues with urinary control, including urgency and frequency.

Conditions We Treat:

  • Parkinson’s Disease: Our team has extensive experience in diagnosing and managing Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and can lead to tremors, stiffness, and impaired balance.
  • Essential Tremor: We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of essential tremor, a common movement disorder characterized by rhythmic shaking, usually in the hands.
  • Dystonia: Our experts manage dystonia, a neurological condition causing involuntary muscle contractions, leading to repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
  • Huntington’s Disease: We provide comprehensive care for individuals with Huntington’s disease, an inherited disorder affecting movement, cognition, and behavior.
  • Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Diagnosis and management of RLS, a condition characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs, leading to an irresistible urge to move.

Our Approach to Care:

  • Specialized Neurological Evaluation: Our team conducts thorough neurological assessments to accurately diagnose movement disorders, taking into consideration the unique symptoms and challenges faced by each patient.
  • Individualized Treatment Plans: Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific needs and may include medication management, physical therapy, and other interventions.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):  For eligible candidates, we offer deep brain stimulation, a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a device to regulate abnormal brain activity and alleviate symptoms.
  • Rehabilitation Services: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are integrated into our approach to enhance mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
