Successful non surgical treatment for Essential Tremor

[Lake of the Woods]

Hello everyone,
I happened to view this on Canada's National News the other day - it is referring to Essential tremor but it is interesting for us I felt. I sent the link to Dr. Russotto also and he has replied that "he had read about it and it is indeed interesting". I also sent it to Helen as her Neurologist is in Toronto where the treatment occurred and she is going to discuss it with her. I am also sending it to my Neurologist I see once a year in Winnipeg, Canada and will discuss it with him when I see him in June.

Thank you for posting this! I am awaiting a referral to teaching hospital in my state to their motion disorder specialists as I want to see a neurologist that has infact treated OT before. I will keep searching for new information. Thanks again! Rhonda

Hi Peggy,

Thank you so much for the information on ET. I do have tremors in my hands, but certainly not as severe as the one shown in the clip. It is encouraging to see there is treatment which is not invasive.

Hi Peggy,
This is very exciting news.
Who knows where it could lead for us with OT.
Thank you so much for posting this article.
