Movement Disorders
Tics, dystonia, tremors, chorea, and ataxia - accurately diagnosed and treated.
“Pediatric movement disorders include tics, dystonia, tremors, chorea and ataxia - abnormal involuntary movements that affect daily life. Because the underlying causes (genetic, metabolic, post-infectious, immune) differ widely, an accurate diagnosis is essential. We pair a careful clinical exam with targeted neurophysiology, MRI and, when needed, genetic testing.”
