Ataxia is the inability to regulate movement of arms and legs. Learn about treatment for many varieties of ataxias at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center.
The Center for Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center diagnoses and treats even the rarest movement disorders. Our unique approach includes experts from different medical specialties, so you receive the exact care you need for the greatest control of even your most complex symptoms.
Once you have an exact diagnosis, we will help you integrate care into your daily life and simplify scheduling by coordinating multiple appointments with you for the same day whenever possible. This means you might meet first with your Neurology team and then with other specialists who have experience treating individuals with movement disorders, such as a urologist for bladder problems or an ophthalmologist for vision issues.
The goal is to help you spend less time focused on your disorder so you have more time to do the things you love.
Our experienced team will partner with you to create a personalized treatment plan that provides the best care for all the years ahead, always adjusting as your symptoms and life plans change. While our core clinical team deals with movement disorders every day, we also work closely with other specialists at Ohio State to address any related conditions that you may experience, such as sleep disturbances, urology concerns and depression. Whatever you face, we’ll face it with you!
