Neuropathy




Parkinson's Disease

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, has numerous causes and can be quite debilitating. There are different types of pain and sensations associated with neuropathy. They can be pins and needles, burning, itchy irritation, numbness, and sometimes the feeling can’t be described. There are focal neuropathies such as Carpal tunnel syndrome, and generalized neuropathy that can be caused by Diabetes, some infections, or due to chemotherapy. We offer diagnostic tests (EMGs) and numerous treatments.


Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder, has no set path of progression once the diagnosis is made. Medications and treatments are designed to reduce symptoms. Optimized care requires partnership with the doctor, patient and caregiver to provide the best pharmacological and complementary treatments that best suit each patient. Our doctors are trained to diagnose and treat Parkinson's disease and make further recommendations as your needs change.


 

Vertigo and Dizziness

Vertigo is a type of dizziness characterized by a spinning sensation. Dizziness is described as light-headedness, feeling off balance, etc. Categorizing and detailing your symptoms is the first step in finding the best treatment and remedy for you.
