What Are Movement Disorders?

Movement disorders include idiopathic, acquired, and hereditary diseases and syndromes that disrupt voluntary movement and/or produce involuntary movements. The most publicized movement disorder is Parkinson's disease. Among other movement disorders are dystonia, essential tremor, Huntington's disease, ataxia, myoclonus, and restless legs syndrome.

Often, illnesses affect many areas of the body and may require evaluation and treatment by several types of doctors. Our doctors can easily call on their colleagues in other specialties for consultation. Locations throughout the Memphis area make quality health care convenient to you and your family.
