Essential Tremor & Parkinson’s Disease Treatment

Tremors and movement changes can significantly impact daily life, making simple tasks like writing, eating, or walking more difficult. Two of the most common causes of tremors are Essential Tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD)—distinct neurological conditions that require specialized care.

Essential Tremor typically causes shaking during movement or activity, most commonly affecting the hands, but it may also involve the head or voice. While not life-threatening, it can progressively interfere with everyday function.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that often begins with a resting tremor, along with stiffness, slowed movement, and changes in balance and coordination. Over time, symptoms may become more pronounced and require comprehensive management.

At Brain and Spine Center of South Florida, we offer a full spectrum of care for movement disorders, including:

• Comprehensive neurological evaluation
• Advanced, minimally invasive treatment options

Advanced Treatment Options

For patients whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with medication, we offer innovative, incisionless procedures such as:

• HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
• Pallidotomy (HIFU Pallidotomy) – a targeted treatment for Parkinson’s disease that focuses on specific areas of the brain to help reduce tremor, rigidity, and involuntary movements

These advanced therapies are designed to improve function and quality of life without traditional surgery.

Our approach is focused on personalized care, helping each patient achieve the best possible symptom control and quality of life.
