About Us

The clinic provides the most advanced treatment, including intravenous thrombolysis for cerebral infarctions, immunomodulatory therapy for autoimmune diseases using immunoglobulins, biological therapy for multiple sclerosis, and botulinum toxin treatment for dystonia and spasticity. We provide ongoing monitoring and treatment for patients with movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and dystonia.
