Insomnia Evaluations

Evaluations of insomnia, the chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time.

Movement Disorders Treatment

Movement disorders are a large group of neurological conditions that affect a patient's normal movements:
Dystonia – A condition in which the muscles of the neck, back, arms or legs contract involuntarily, often as a symptom of another disease, such as Parkinson’s Disease.
Huntington’s Disease - A chronic genetic neurological disease in which a patient’s brain cells break down, causing movement problems, tremors, seizures and mental decline.
Parkinson’s Disease - A progressive neurological disease that causes tremors, dementia and problems with posture, balance, coordination and speech.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) - A condition causing leg aches or cramps that may result in involuntary jerking of the leg.  RLS can keep a person from falling asleep or feeling as if they are getting enough rest.
Tics - Sudden, repeated movements of areas of the body such as the face or hands, which the patient cannot control.
Toritcollis  - A "twisted" neck that results from spasms in the neck vertebrae, causing headache, neck pain and stiffness.

Narcolepsy Treatment

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness, even if a person gets enough sleep at night.  Narcolepsy is often accompanied by sleep paralysis and frightening dreams or hallucinations just before falling asleep or right after waking up.

Periodic Leg Movement Evaluations

Periodic leg movement syndrome is a sleep disorder characterized by rhythmic movements of the legs during sleep. Movements occur periodically throughout the night and can fluctuate in severity from one night to the next.

Pulse Oximetry

Electrodes used to monitor your pulse are attached to a part of your body like a finger, earlobe, or skin fold.

Restless Leg Evaluations

The diagnosis of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is based upon a thorough medical and neurologic evaluation as well as a detailed patient history. Some physicians may use a clinical assessment scale to aid in the diagnosis of RLS and help to determine disease severity.

Sleep Apnea Evaluations

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. The evaluation of sleep apnea may include tests in a sleep laboratory as well as home studies.
