What Are Tremors?

Tremor refers to involuntary, rhythmic contraction of muscles resulting in shaking or trembling of part or whole body, mostly hands, arms, head, voice, or legs. They do not endanger life, but they may significantly hinder everyday activities such as writing, eating, or grasping something.

Tremors are a primary symptom of an underlying neurodegenerative process. Visit a specialized tremor diagnosis center for a timely diagnosis and successful treatment.

Common Types of Tremors

  • Essential Tremor – A frequent neurologic condition that usually affects the hands, particularly on activation.
  • Parkinsonian Tremor – Most frequently associated with Parkinson’s disease; typically present at rest and reduced with movement.
  • Cerebellar Tremor – It is associated with injury to the cerebellum of the brain; seen in purposeful movement.
  • Dystonic Tremor – Observed in dystonic patients, a disorder of movement that causes contractions and postures of the muscles.
  • Physiological Tremor – A slight shaking that everyone has to some degree, usually caused by fatigue, tension, or caffeine.

What Causes Tremors?

  • Neurological conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis)
  • Genetics (family history of essential tremor)
  • Brain injuries or strokes
  • Certain medications
  • Anxiety or stress
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Alcohol withdrawal

At our Tremor Treatment Clinic, we employ a thorough assessment procedure to evaluate the exact cause of your tremor and develop a personalized treatment plan.
