What Are Movement Disorders?
Movement disorders is a term used to describe several individual neurological conditions that cause voluntary or involuntary movements.
Common conditions that fall under movement disorders include:
- Ataxia
- Cervical dystonia
- Chorea
- Dystonia
- Functional movement disorder
- Huntington’s disease
- Multiple system atrophy
- Myoclonus
- Parkinson’s disease
- Restless legs syndrome
- Tardive dyskinesia
- Tourette syndrome
- Tremors
- Wilson’s disease
Depending upon your specific condition, movements may be quick or “jerky” while other conditions cause the slowing of normal movements.
The Board Certified Neurologists at OrthoNeuro have helped thousands of patients with movement disorders live an active and healthy lifestyle using a variety of treatment options.
How Are Movement Disorders Treated at OrthoNeuro?
There are a variety of medications used to treat movement disorders that your OrthoNeuro Neurologist will discuss with you.
Specific medications are used to manage specific conditions and examination and testing will help determine which condition you may be suffering from and which medication may be right for you.
Your OrthoNeuro Neurologist will monitor your reaction to these medications and adjust dosages as needed until your symptoms are controlled. In some instances, a surgical procedure may be recommended.
