Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

It is estimated that one child in a class of 25-30 children suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The disorder usually becomes apparent during the first few years of school and is characterized by two major symptoms: attention deficit (problems paying attention) and hyperactivity (difficulty in controlling behavior). There is little compelling evidence at this time that ADHD can arise purely from social factors or child-rearing methods. Most substantiated causes appear to fall in the realm of neurobiology and genetics.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is a medical condition in which people have mood swings out of proportion, or totally unrelated, to things going on in their lives. These swings affect thoughts, feelings, physical health, behavior and functioning. About 5.7 million American adults or about 2.6 percent of the population age 18 and older in any given year, have bipolar disorder according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Blepharospasm

Blepharospam is the twitching of an eyelid. It is often benign and related to emotional stress, sleep deprivation or the use of stimulants (for example amphetamines, caffeine, nicotine and decongestants).

Brain Injuries

Accidents can cause trauma to the brain. Because the brain is the most important organ in the body, it is crucial that everything is done to ensure its continued proper function. Treatments aid the healing of brain tissue without permanent damage.

Cervical Dystonia

Cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is a focal dystonia characterized by neck muscles that contract involuntarily, causing abnormal movements and posture of the head and neck.
