CHAT REPLAY: Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor and Dystonia Q&A
Temple Health Neurologists answered viewer questions to help better understand movement disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor.

Movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, tremors and dystonia affect the brain, spine and nerves, causing abnormal, slow or limited movement. For those who have been diagnosed with a movement disorder, everyday tasks can become incredibly difficult and make you feel like you've lost control over certain parts of your life.

In this Facebook Live, Temple Movement Disorders specialists Dr. Willard Kasoff, neurosurgeon, and Dr. Molly Cincotta, neurologist, will discuss movement disorders diagnoses and the latest treatments available that can help patients regain as much control of their movements - and their lives - as possible.
