Treating essential tremor & cranial nerve disorders
Essential Tremor is one of the more common movement disorders. The disorder often involves the involuntary shaking of a patient's hands, arms or the lower limbs. Essential Tremor can occur at any age but is most commonly associated with patients ages 40 years and older.
Using ultrasound-guided technology, we are able to precisely deliver thermal energy to the Ventralis Intermediate Nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus which reduces or eliminates tremor. This procedure is considered painless and minimally invasive with the patient being discharged same day.
We also treat Hemifacial Spasms (HN), Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), Geniculate Neuralgia (GN), Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia (GLN), and Occiptal Neuralgia (ON) which are otherwise known as cranial nerve disorders.
Depending on the diagnosis, our range of treatments can vary from medications, use of ultrasound guided technology or radiation technologies, and in some cases, through surgery.
