Movement disorders
Movement disorders include a broad group of neurological disorders that interfere with motor control.
This can lead to difficulty performing desired movements or involuntary, uncontrolled movements that cannot be suppressed.
What is it?
There are different types of movement disorders:
Parkinson's Disease:
Parkinson's disease causes movement problems such as stiffness, tremors, slower movement and walking disorders, often asymmetric.
In addition, non-motor symptoms can occur, such as sleep problems, loss of smell, digestive problems, slow thinking, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
The symptoms usually develop between the ages of 50 and 70.
Dystonia:
Increased muscle tension causes unwanted cramps in one or more parts of the body, such as the neck, eyes or arms, causing them to stand in an unnatural position. The severity and characteristics vary from person to person.
Tremor:
A rhythmic trembling of the hands, arms or other parts of the body, which can make daily activities difficult.
Ataxia:
Problems with coordination and balance due to cerebellar dysfunction. This can lead to shaky hands and difficulty with smooth movements.
How to treat
Neuromodulation such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can provide valuable support in reducing depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
Stimulations of the motor cerebral cortex have already been shown to be effective for certain movement disorders.
Other conditions that we treat
Auditory and vestibular disorders
These disorders are related to hearing and balance and can have a major impact on your daily life.

Neurological and cognitive disorders
These disorders affect brain function, which can lead to problems with attention, memory, and motor skills.
Mental and emotional disorders
Mental illness can be deeply rooted in neurobiological dysfunctions.
Chronic Pain and Fatigue Syndromes
Chronic pain and fatigue are often difficult to treat with conventional methods, especially when there is no obvious physical cause.
Fatigue syndromes and sleep disorders
Sleep and energy management are essential for brain function. Problems in these areas can lead to severe tiredness and difficulty concentrating.
Headache and facial pain disorders
Headaches and facial pain can result from complex neurological processes.
