Movement Disorders

Restoring Control. Enhancing Quality of Life.

Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that affect the ability to control voluntary or involuntary movements such as walking, speaking, or performing daily tasks. These disorders can significantly impair a person’s independence and well-being. At Rochana Medical Center, we provide specialized diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of movement disorders under the expert care of Dr. Umesh T, a Senior Consultant Neurologist with over 31 years of clinical experience.

• Parkinson’s Disease

• Essential Tremor

• Dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions causing twisting or abnormal postures)

• Chorea and Huntington’s Disease

• Tics and Tourette Syndrome

• Myoclonus (sudden, brief jerks or twitches)

• Ataxia (loss of coordination)

• Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

• Drug-induced movement disorders
