New Jersey Doctor Successfully Treats Movement Disorders Including Tourette's Syndrome

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 30, 2010 -
Movement disorders such as facial tics, “nervous twitches” including physical and vocal twitches such as eye blinking and throat clearing have long been thought to be related to neurological or psychological conditions and possibly even due to infections but new research shows that these movement disorders are often caused by the compression of nerves in the head and face. Dr. Ira Klemons, Director of The Center for Head and Facial Movement Disorders has been successfully treating patients from all around the world for these and related conditions over 30 years.

Thousands of patients have come to Dr. Klemons for the treatment of pain or uncontrollable twitches or tics such as the bending or rotating of the head, shrugging of the shoulders, verbal outbursts or even making clicking sounds in the throat. His patients have traveled from as far as Australia, France, Spain, and even Africa in order to seek treatment.

Many patients find themselves suffering from the tics, twitches, and movement disorders for a number of years before they finally find treatment that actually “works.” Dr. Klemons describes the reaction of the nerves as similar to that of someone lightly stepping on your toe—constantly! He says, “You can psychologically analyze or medicate yourself forever, but the most important “treatment” is to get the person off your toe!” This describes the impulses and sensations sent to the nerves of the head and face experienced by people who suffer from movement disorders.

At the Center for Head and Facial Movement disorders, Dr. Klemons is often able to provide patients with immediate relief which the patient then maintains by using a custom-made KONDA Movement Disorder orthopedic device to keep pressure relieved from the affected nerves that cause the twitches or tics. If the patient or parent does not see a reduction of the tics during the consultation, there is no fee charged. Many patients report that in addition to their struggles with the movement disorders, which in
many cases progressively get worse throughout the years, they also suffer from bouts of depression and anxiety as a result and ramification of the disorder.

Patients are happy with the results oriented approach that Dr. Klemons and the staff at The Center for Head and Facial Movement Disorders take with each individual. Dr. Klemons is internationally recognized for his expertise in the treatment of head and face related conditions.

The Center for Head and Facial Movement Disorders accepts patients from around the world. In addition to patients coming from more than 20 countries, Dr. Klemons has also treated patients from 40 of the United States including patients local to his practice in New Jersey.
