Focused Ultrasound: A New Era of Healing for Movement Disorders at Larkin’s Miami Neuroscience Center

There was a time when treating tremors meant living with trade-offs—between relief and side effects, between surgery and risk, between hope and reality. Today, that time is over.

At the Miami Neuroscience Center at Larkin, innovation has a new name: Focused Ultrasound (FUS). This non-invasive, outpatient procedure is transforming the landscape for patients suffering from essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, levodopa-induced dyskinesia, and other movement disorders. Backed by years of research and guided by the steady hands of Dr. Aizik Wolf and Dr. Jose Valerio, FUS is not just a treatment—it’s a turning point.

What is Focused Ultrasound?

Focused Ultrasound uses concentrated sound waves to target a small, specific area of the brain responsible for tremor symptoms. No scalpels. No incisions. No hospital stay. Patients walk in, undergo the procedure, and often walk out with noticeable tremor relief—immediately.

This FDA-approved, incisionless procedure is ideal for patients with movement disorders who no longer find relief through medication alone. It is safe, effective, and profoundly life-changing.

Conditions Treated with FUS

  • Essential Tremor: FUS precisely targets the brain’s tremor center, offering relief from involuntary shaking and restoring control to the simplest of daily actions.

  • Parkinson’s Disease: FUS alleviates motor symptoms by focusing treatment on the neurological roots of Parkinson’s, improving overall quality of life.

  • Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia: By reducing uncontrolled movements caused by Parkinson’s medication, FUS offers a balanced path forward for patients with complex needs.

  • Other Movement Disorders: From dystonia to dyskinesia, FUS is proving effective across a range of motor control challenges.
