Living with a movement disorder or other neurological condition is one of the most challenging journeys you and your loved one can experience. Millions of adult Americans are diagnosed with neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, essential tremor, epilepsy and more — only to find that medication therapy is limited and — in some cases — isn’t working. At this free webinar, you will learn from a neurosurgeon affiliated with Sharp Grossmont Hospital how deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and an innovative, non-invasive treatment called MR-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) can significantly ease symptoms, improve movement control and help you get back to enjoying life. The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the physician.
