Parkinson's Disease Overview
The disease is the result of loss of neurons in a small area of the brain known as the substantia nigra and probably the most widely known movement disorder.

Parkinson's Disease Medications
The most useful and most commonly prescribed medication is Sinemet.

Surgical Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
If medical management does not work or causes significant medication side effects, Deep Brain Stimulation may be an option.

Essential Tremor
Especially prevalent in the older population, this is the most common movement disorder.

Dystonia, Torticollis, and Spasticity
These conditions that involve sustained involuntary muscle contractions frequently affect either children or adults in the fourth and fifth decades of life.

Surgical Options
Deep Brain Stimulation, Dorsal Rhizotomy and Baclofen Pumps can help alleviate symptoms of various movement disorders.
