Movement Disorders refer to a group of neurological conditions that manifest in a variety of symptoms, including involuntary movements in the limbs and face, muscle rigidity, tremors, balance and walking disturbances, generalized slowness, and more. In addition, non-motor symptoms such as memory loss, constipation, sleep disturbances, and mood changes are also common. Movement disorders include, among others, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), Huntington’s disease, and Tourette syndrome.

There are significant differences between patients, and therefore, symptoms and treatments vary for each person, requiring personalized attention and care.

Movement disorders can lead to a substantial decline in functioning, lowering the quality of life for those affected.

The clinic provides comprehensive care, including diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support for patients with movement disorders, under the expertise of leading specialists in the field.

Various treatment options are available to alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients. Typically, the treatment combines medication, physiotherapy, and, in more severe cases, surgeries such as electrode implants, which offer the best outcomes. Additionally, complementary treatments can significantly ease many of the symptoms.

Treatment options offered at the clinic:

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease: This treatment involves sending electrical signals to the brain to relieve symptoms like tremors and movement difficulties.

PRODUODOPA: The first and only advanced treatment designed for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease. This treatment uses a solution administered via subcutaneous infusion.

Treatments for NPH: Includes shunt surgery (VPS Shunt) to alleviate pressure on the brain.

Botox injections: Used to treat facial spasms (e.g., blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, limb spasm and more).

Advanced medication treatments: Tailored pharmacological therapy for managing movement disorders.

Since movement disorders affect both the motor system and other aspects of life, it is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis, close monitoring, and treatment that integrates multiple methods for optimal balance and improvement.
