Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Treatment for Parkinson’s, Tremor & Movement Disorders
DBS is a treatment used for conditions like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia—often when medications are no longer giving enough benefit.
It involves a small device that delivers gentle electrical signals to specific areas of the brain to help regulate movement. While the surgery is important, the real impact often comes from ongoing programming. Small adjustments over time can make a noticeable difference in how you move and feel day to day.
We work closely with you to fine-tune your DBS settings, manage symptoms, and adjust treatment as your condition evolves. The goal is to help you move more comfortably, stay independent, and maintain your quality of life.
What Is DBS Programming?

DBS doesn’t work the same for everyone—and that’s where programming comes in.
After the device is placed, we gradually adjust the settings over time to find the right balance between symptom control and side effects. Small changes can make a big difference.
Programming is an ongoing process that evolves with your symptoms, helping you get the most benefit from your therapy.

Conditions Treated with DBS
DBS is widely used for Parkinson’s disease patients who experience severe tremors, stiffness, or medication side effects. The therapy can improve motor control and reduce the need for high medication doses.
Patients with essential tremor often suffer from uncontrollable shaking of the hands, head, or voice. DBS can significantly reduce tremor severity and improve daily activities such as writing, eating, and drinking.
Dystonia causes abnormal muscle contractions that lead to twisting movements or painful postures. DBS can help regulate muscle activity and reduce symptoms.
Careful evaluation determines candidacy and expected benefit.
