Movement Disorder Specialists in New Jersey

Movement disorders greatly impact the quality of one’s life.  They can put added stress on a family and even make everyday activities such as walking, eating, and speaking more difficult.  Causes are often unknown for these conditions, but there are treatments that can fight the effects of a movement disorder and help you live a fuller life.  At North Jersey Brain & Spine, our NJ movement disorder specialists are trained in such treatments and ready to work with you.

Professional care is our first priority and each of our expects is committed to helping patients get better.  Some of the conditions our movement disorder specialists in NJ can treat are the following:

• Parkinson’s Disease - Degenerative disease of the central nervous system that may affect anything from altered posture to actions and thought.  There is no cure at the present, but treatment can curb symptoms.

• Essential Tremor - Slow-progressing neurological disorder that may involve only minor tremors, but could progress enough to limit one’s ability to write and even get dressed.  Treatment gives more control over the symptoms.

• Dystonia - May be difficult to diagnose given its similarities to other movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and essential tremor.  Like Parkinson’s, the treatment options are abundant.

• Spasticity - Stiffness of the muscles that can limit control over movement.  There are varying treatments and even a surgical option for spasticity.

Before any treatment, we always hold consultations with prospective patients.  In the consultation, we will discuss the movement disorder as well as the treatment options available for your individual situation.  Patients and their families will have all of their questions answered by our NJ movement disorder specialists.  

Do not let another day go by living with a movement disorder.  To take back control of your life, give us a call today at 201-342-2550 and set up a consultation.
