Restoring patient freedom for Parkinson's disease
Enabling people with movement disorders and epilepsy to improve their life is our motivation. While there is no cure for debilitating neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, deep brain stimulation (DBS), has been transforming the lives of people with Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders for more than 30 years. Our personalized treatment can help control debilitating tremors for a person living with Parkinson’s — someone who longs to hold their morning coffee with a steady hand.
