Movement Disorders

The Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Movement Disorders Center is at the forefront of delivering the most advanced and innovative care for patients with all types of movement disorders. Our world-renowned, interdisciplinary specialists at the Comprehensive Brain Health Center provide the broadest range of expertise in a spectrum of related disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and related conditions, essential tremor, dystonia, tardive dystonia or dyskinesia, Tourette’s syndrome, spasticity, and other movement disorders. Montefiore Einstein is an international referral site for complex and challenging movement disorder cases and is among the highest-performing centers in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery, according to U.S. News & World Report.

We utilize a spectrum of advanced diagnostic neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and genetic/epigenetic technologies and advanced and emerging treatment modalities. These encompass precise, minimally invasive, surgical placement of electrodes into brain areas uniquely involved in mediating specific movement disorders, along with subsequent programming and refinement of stimulation parameters to optimally treat individual conditions.

In some cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is indicated. DBS surgery involves precise, minimally invasive surgical placement of electrodes into brain areas uniquely involved in mediating specific movement disorders, along with subsequent programming and refinement of stimulation parameters to optimally treat individual conditions. Our neurosurgeons are world-renowned specialists with decades of experience and leadership in the field. They are experts in minimally invasive stereotactic surgery, DBS surgery and all other contemporary approaches for the treatment of movement disorders.

Our highly specialized team of leading experts from neurology, neurological surgery, neuroradiology, cognitive neuroscience, neurorehabilitation and biotechnology work together through consensus conferences and precision medicine initiatives, integrating AI and other emerging sophisticated technologies to devise a comprehensive management plan, to optimize functional recovery and avoid debilitating side effects often associated with medical management alone.
