Movement Disorders
Movement
disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, are a
primary cause of neurological disability. Even the most basic daily
activities can be significantly impaired for individuals with a movement
disorder. With no known cure, treatment is aimed at controlling
symptoms and must be tailored to each individual patient.
Hoag
Parkinson's and Movement Disorders program is comprised of specialized
patient evaluation, advanced medical therapy and treatment options, as
well as an array of support groups. In addition, it's the only program
in Orange County that partners with the National Parkinson's Foundation
Orange County Chapter (NPFOCC). Founded in 1994, the program treats
patients with movement disorders including Parkinson's disease,
dystonia, essential tremor and gait problems, enabling them to maintain
the highest level of independence.
