Episode: Why Your Hands Shake — and What You Can Do About It
Description: Essential Tremor is a movement disorder, most commonly affecting the hands, that makes daily tasks like eating, writing or shaving incredibly challenging for an estimated 10-million Americans. Now, a new, non-invasive treatment called high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HiFu, is delivering life-changing results. Dr. Justin Sporrer, director of functional neurosurgery at Miami Neuroscience Institute, joins Dr. Jonathan Fialkow to explain why HiFu is a game changer in the treatment of patients with essential tremor.(See dramatic before and after video of a patient who received HiFu treatment at Miami Neuroscience Institute.)
