Movement Disorders Evaluations
Movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and ataxia can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, we provide specialized evaluations aimed at detecting these conditions early and creating individualized care plans to help preserve mobility, function, and independence. Whether your symptoms are mild or advanced, our goal is to improve quality of life through accurate diagnosis and targeted management.
Understanding Movement Disorders
Movement disorders involve abnormal voluntary or involuntary movements, which can include tremors, muscle stiffness, or coordination problems. These conditions may develop gradually or appear suddenly, and early recognition is key to effective treatment. Identifying the specific type of movement disorder allows for more precise care and better long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Evaluation Process
During your appointment, our team conducts thorough neurological examinations to assess tremors, rigidity, coordination, gait, and overall muscle control. When necessary, we use advanced imaging studies and specialized diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other neurological conditions with similar symptoms. This detailed approach helps ensure you receive an accurate diagnosis from the start.
Personalized Treatment Options
Once a diagnosis is established, we work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Options may include medication management, physical therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to support mobility and function. For certain cases, we may refer patients to movement disorder specialists for advanced treatments such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). Early intervention can help slow symptom progression and maintain independence for as long as possible.
