Learn about the life-changing power of incisionless focused ultrasound. The Sentara Comprehensive Movement Disorders Program provides expert treatment for those living with movement disorders. The focused ultrasound treatment may be an option for patients with essential tremor or tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease. Using advanced technology, neurosurgeons can treat deep in the brain with no surgical incisions. Sound waves pass safely through a patient's skull to heat and precisely ablate (destroy) the target cells in the thalamus responsible for the tremor.
