PARKINSON’S DISEASE TREATMENT IN RENO & NORTHERN NEVADA

Parkinson's Disease - Cross-section Of The Human Brain

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a condition that affects how the brain controls your body’s movements. It happens when certain nerve cells in the brain stop working correctly. Over time, this can make daily tasks harder to do.

Common signs of Parkinson’s include:

Tremors: Shaking in the hands, arms, or legs.
Slow Movement: Feeling like your body is moving through water.
Stiff Muscles: Difficulty bending your arms or legs.
Balance Issues: Feeling unsteady while standing or walking.

Meet Dr. Angelique Tay: Expert Parkinson’s & Epilepsy Care in Northern Nevada

If you (or a loved one) are struggling with movement disorders, expert help is close to home. Dr. Angelique Tay is a highly skilled neurosurgeon serving the Northern Nevada community.

As the only fellowship-trained functional neurosurgeon in the region, Dr. Tay specializes in surgeries that help the brain and body work better together. She is dedicated to using precise techniques to help patients regain their independence and improve their quality of life.

Advanced Treatment: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

For many people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremors, medicine may not be enough. Dr. Tay uses Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to help.

How it works: A small device is placed in the body to send mild electrical signals to the brain.

The Goal: These signals help block the “wrong” messages that cause shaking and stiffness.

Results: DBS can greatly reduce tremors and help patients move more easily.
