Essential tremor can be treated in the Department of Neurology. It is a relatively common neurological disorder managed by neurologists, and patients with essential tremor should seek evaluation and treatment in the Department of Neurology. For optimal care, it is recommended to visit a reputable, public Grade A-3 hospital in your local area. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may be used to treat essential tremor; therefore, patients may also consult the Department of Encephalopathy (Brain Disorders) at a TCM hospital. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture and tuina (therapeutic massage) may also be employed to help alleviate symptoms.
