Restoring Confidence, Independence, and Control
Balance and movement disorders can affect daily life, from walking across a room to enjoying time with family. These conditions often stem from disruptions in the brain’s sensory-motor systems, which control movement, posture, and coordination.
At NeuroAxis Health, we combine functional neurology, neurorehabilitation, and evidence-based neurotherapies to provide comprehensive care. With nearly 20 years of experience, Dr. Rachman Chung leads one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most trusted programs, supported by Dr. Jessica Tolentino’s expertise in neurofeedback and qEEG-guided therapies.
Our goal is to help you move with greater stability and confidence while supporting long-term function and quality of life.
These conditions disrupt the body’s ability to move smoothly, maintain stability, and coordinate actions. Symptoms may include:
They often stem from changes within the brain’s sensory-motor networks, which are essential for balance and controlled movement.
Balance and movement disorders may develop from:
A progressive brain disease marked by shaking tremor, muscle stiffness, slowed movement, and non-motor symptoms such as loss of smell, constipation, anxiety and depression.
A condition causing rhythmic shaking, usually in the hands, head, or voice, especially while doing simple tasks.
Loss of coordination and balance, causing clumsy movements and unsteady walking; can stem from brain injury, genetics, stroke or neurodegenerative changes.
Involuntary muscle contractions lead to twisting movements or repetitive postures, sometimes affecting the neck, extremities, or entire body.
Chorea causes sudden, brief, jerky movements or dance-type movements. These are often genetic or caused by infection.
DIzziness can result from disrupted sensory pathways within the brain related to vision, memory, and balance systems from injury, infection or neurodegeneration.
Uncomfortable feelings in the legs and an urge to move, usually worse at night.
Rare disorders with symptoms similar to Parkinson’s, but more progressive.
Tardive dyskinesia involves repetitive, involuntary movements, often from long-term medication use.
Sudden, brief, involuntary twitching or jerking of a muscle or group of muscles.
While many balance and movement disorders are ongoing or get worse over time, new advances with neurotherapy and rehabilitation strategies can help improve mobility, decrease symptoms, and enhance quality of life.
Every care plan begins with our Functional Neurology Evaluation, which measures how your brain processes sensory, motor, and cognitive information. This helps us identify the root causes of symptoms and create a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Our evaluation examines seven key areas of brain and body function:
This multi-dimensional assessment provides the foundation for your individualized care plan.
After evaluation, we design a plan that strengthens brain networks involved in movement, balance, and cognition. Therapies may include:
While many balance and movement disorders are chronic or progressive over time, new advances in neurotherapy and rehabilitation offer renewed hope to help improve function and quality of life. Our approach can help patients with:
