Neurology

People with all types of movement disorders, including the serious, rare or complex, turn to Mayo Clinic neurologists trained in movement disorders for expert evaluation and treatment. Mayo Clinic's approach to movement disorders stresses precise diagnosis and treatment pathways.

Our doctors and surgeons treat more than 16,000 people with movement disorders every year. Mayo Clinic doctors use advanced imaging, neurophysiological assessments and other tests to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. They also have access to innovative and effective treatments, such as targeted deep brain stimulation, onobotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections, deep brain stimulation and surgery.

At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, this care and expertise is available at the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center, including at the Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease Clinic. The specialists of this center also help people with nonmovement symptoms and conditions, including sleep disorders, depression, cognitive disorders, lightheadedness and urinary difficulties.
