Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorders
Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder is a neurological disorder that causes movement problems. As the region’s only Movement Disorders Clinic, our team – including the region’s only Movement Disorders Specialist, Enrique Urrea-Mendoza, MD – creates individualized plans of care with a variety of treatments and services.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for movement disorders that delivers a continuous electrical current to a specific area of the brain that controls the area affected by the movement disorder. Working alongside our Movement Disorders Clinic, Matthew Davis, MD, specializes in DBS to provide the best outcome for all qualified patients.
Neurosurgery
When you think of neurosurgery, you may think of the brain – but neurosurgery encompasses the entire nervous system. We focus on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of disorders that affect the entire nervous system – brain, spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Accreditations
TMH has been designated the first hospital in the United States to achieve accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Neurosurgery. By meeting the high standards to receive the Center of Excellence in Neurosurgery designation, patients receive safer procedures, exceptional care before, during and after surgery, fewer complications and a better overall experience.
In 2019, while on a call with a client, Richard noticed his hand start to shake. His wife, Heidi, had also recognized a change in his mood around this time but didn’t think it was a problem. Then he started experiencing pain throughout his body – pain Richard described as the worst of his life and like his legs were “in cement.”
Although he didn’t know it yet, Richard was experiencing early signs of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects dopamine-producing neurons in the brain leading to difficulty with movement and motor skills, among other symptoms. Parkinson’s does not affect everyone the same way, with the rate of progression and symptoms differing among individuals.
