Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Movement Disorders neurologist do?

A Movement Disorders neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and management of conditions that affect movement, including Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Movement Disorders neurologist treat?

A Movement Disorders neurologist commonly treats Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, Huntington's disease, ataxia, and tic disorders. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.

When should I see a Movement Disorders neurologist?

Consider seeing a Movement Disorders neurologist when you have a tremor, gait change, or other movement symptom that has not been clearly explained, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Movement Disorders neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Movement Disorders neurologist different from a general neurologist?

Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Movement Disorders neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and management of conditions that affect movement, including Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Movement Disorders neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, Huntington's disease, ataxia, and tic disorders.
