Deep Brain Stimulation

One of the most promising treatments for PD is deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS can control many of the symptoms of PD, reducing tremors and improving mobility. DBS has been FDA approved for essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, and dystonia.

Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is one of the most potent neurotoxins known to men, and for decades it has been used in medicine. BoNT is commonly used as a potent muscle relaxant, but it can also help decrease saliva and sweat production. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been approved for the treatment of chronic migraines since 2010.

Common neurological indications for BoNT are Dystonia and spasticity. Spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, stroke, or spinal cord injury is a common indication for BoNT. Patients will have access to botulinum toxin types A and B (BOTOX®, Disport, Xeomin, Myobloc).

Supportive Care and Planning Clinic

The creation of the Supportive Care and Planning clinic allows access to important and profound discussions about resources, supportive care, assistance, and planning for a healthy life. The clinic will integrate clinical expertise, triage tools designed to identify cognitive and emotional dysfunction with guidance and social services.

This service will be available annually upon diagnosis and can also be helpful in life-changing situations or special occasions.
