Essential tremor is a movement disorder, most commonly affecting the hands, that makes daily tasks like eating, writing or shaving incredibly challenging for an estimated 10 million Americans.

Dr. Justin Sporrer, director of functional neurosurgery at Miami Neuroscience Institute, joins Dr. Jonathan Fialkow to explain why HiFu is a game-changer in the treatment of patients with essential tremor.
