Topic Area: Movement

After reading many posts within this forum and also posting myself, it has been suggested that I see a Movement Disorder Specialist. Not being totally familar with the term, could someone please elaborate a little more on this topic. Is this a neurologist? A nuerologist with an additional specialization? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this area.

A movement disorders specialist is a fully trained neurologist who has done further training in the form of a one or two year fellowship in movement disorders. Parkinsons disease is by far the most common movement disorder but other conditions like cerebellar disease and dystonias are also seen by movement disorder specialists.
Usually a movement disorders specialist will be found in a large university clinic.
If you are interested in an appointment at the Movement Disorders Clinic in the Cleveland Clinic , our specialists are Dr Burns and Dr Montgomery. The appointments office number is (216 ) 444 5559.
