About Shaky Hands

Shaky hands, medically known as tremor, is not a procedure but a symptom evaluated by an Internal Medicine specialist. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to determine the underlying cause. This includes a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and potentially diagnostic tests like blood work or imaging. The goal is to differentiate between essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, medication side effects, or other neurological conditions. A precise diagnosis is crucial for developing an effective management plan, which may include medication adjustments, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to neurologists for specialized care. This evaluation is the first critical step toward improving hand stability and quality of life.
