Moving you forward with confidence
Millions of Americans experience some form of movement disorder. These progressive neurological conditions can limit or impair a person’s ability to control and coordinate their body, resulting in tremors, rigidity, or other involuntary movements.
Corewell Health is leading the way in movement disorder care, combining expertise with leading-edge treatments to help improve motor control and relieve symptoms.
Why Corewell Health
Advanced treatments
We provide many of the latest and most sophisticated treatments for neurological and movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors, including deep brain stimulation and high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy.
Clinical trials
We believe clinical trials should be considered as primary treatment options — not last resorts when other treatments have failed. Through our partnerships, we are able to offer access to a wide variety of promising clinical trials, neuroimaging research, genetic studies, and more.
Coordinated care
Your care team may include neurology, neuropsychology, neurosurgery, physical and occupational therapy, pain management, and other specialists — all working together to deliver you the best possible care in one place.

Conditions we treat
Our specialists treat a wide variety of movement disorders, including many rare conditions. Some of these conditions include:
Atypical parkinsonian disorders
Diseases that share some symptoms with Parkinson’s disease — such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and difficulty with movement and balance — but often don’t respond as well to Parkinson’s medications. Examples include dementia with Lewy bodies (DBL), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Ataxia
Poor muscle coordination and control, often due to nervous system dysfunction. It may result in difficulty with walking, balance, speech, and eye movements.
Chorea
Uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movements that are irregular and unpredictable, rather than rhythmic or repetitive. It is frequently associated with Huntington’s disease, but can have other causes.
Dystonia
Involuntary muscle contractions that lead to twisting or repetitive movements and abnormal posture.
Tremor disorders
Uncontrollable shaking in parts of the body, either during specific motions or postures (action tremors) or all the time (rest tremors, including essential tremor disorder).
Hemifacial spasm
Involuntary twitching or muscle spasms on one side of the face, such as around the eyes, mouth, or cheek.
Huntington’s disease
Inherited brain disorder that leads to uncontrolled movements, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.
Parkinson’s disease
Progressive degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, which can lead to tremors, stiff muscles, speech difficulty, cognitive and mood challenges, and a variety of other symptoms.
Restless leg syndrome
Uncomfortable sensations within the legs and feet that trigger an urge to move them.
Tourette syndrome
Repetitive, sudden, and involuntary movements (motor tics) and vocalizations (vocal tics).
Wilson’s disease
Rare, inherited condition that causes copper to build up in the liver, brain, and eyes. This gradually leads to movement disorders, mood changes, and a variety of other symptoms.
