Movement Disorders

Brain, spinal cord, and stroke related movement disorders

Movement disorders from strokes, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other causes can respond to the combination of diagnostic and treatment methods we use.

In these conditions, movement disorders can result from the damage in the brain or spinal cord. Nerve cells that control muscle movement die. However, in most cases, not all the nerve cells die. Some are intact and can be invoked to gain additional movement control.

Conventional post-stroke or injury rehab may not be designed to detect and treat the residual nerve fibers that remain un-injured.

We use sensitive and sophisticated surface electromyography (SEMG) to see if any motor signals remain intact. If there are sufficient nerve fibers intact, many patients can have at least a partial recovery beyond conventional therapy.

We use a combination of SEMG biofeedback, Cold Laser Therapy, and other techniques to train the remaining nerve fibers to activate and control the weak muscles.

Tremors

There are many causes of tremor, and there are various types of tremor.

Some tremors have responded well to a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical medicine modalities, our energy medicine techniques, and cold laser. We use cold laser to stimulate acupuncture points and energy channels, as well for neuromuscular re-education as to allow more normal muscle and nerve function.

Many tremor patients respond rapidly, having greater control of their writing ability especially, often within one or two sessions.

Movement Disorders Assessment

If you are at least one year post-stroke or spinal cord injury, or have tremors, We are happy to evaluate you to see if you can improve your movement function.
