Both office locations →Key Takeaways
- The nearest office is 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147.
- Essential tremor appears when the hands are in use and settles at rest, which is the opposite of the Parkinson’s tremor.
- It is considerably more common than Parkinson’s disease, and having it does not mean Parkinson’s will develop.
- Treatment reduces the amplitude of the tremor rather than eliminating it, and that is worth knowing before starting.
- The social impact is frequently more disabling than the physical one, and it is a legitimate reason to treat.
Essential tremor, described honestly
Essential tremor is the commonest movement disorder and is frequently dismissed as a harmless quirk of ageing. It is harmless in the sense that it does not shorten life, and it is not harmless in its effect on daily function.
What distinguishes it
It appears when the hands are doing something: holding a cup, writing, lifting a spoon. It settles when the hands rest in the lap. That is the opposite of the Parkinson’s tremor, which appears at rest and often eases with use, and the distinction usually separates the two at the bedside. Essential tremor is typically symmetrical, frequently affects the head or voice, often runs in families, and temporarily improves with a small amount of alcohol. Detail is on the Parkinson’s and tremor page.
The reassurance that is genuinely due
Having essential tremor does not mean Parkinson’s disease will develop. It is a different condition with a different mechanism and a different course, and patients who have read about tremor frequently arrive expecting the worse diagnosis. It also does not progress to disability in most people, though it commonly becomes more noticeable over years.
What treatment realistically achieves
Reduction in amplitude rather than elimination. That is the honest framing, and it matters because a patient expecting the tremor to stop will judge an effective treatment a failure. A meaningful reduction is frequently enough to restore writing, eating in company and handling small objects, which is what most people actually want. Response varies between individuals, more than one option exists, and needing to try a second is common rather than a failure. Where medication is insufficient, procedural options exist and are referred, since this practice performs no surgery.
Why the social impact counts
Patients frequently under-report how much it affects them because the tremor seems trivial to describe. Avoiding eating out, avoiding writing in front of people, avoiding carrying a drink across a room: those are real restrictions and they are a legitimate reason to treat, not a vanity. Saying so plainly is worth more than being told it is nothing to worry about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which office should residents use?
The Las Vegas office at 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100. Both offices provide everything, so the choice is about the drive.
How do I know it is essential tremor and not Parkinson’s?
Largely from when it appears. Essential tremor appears when the hands are in use and settles at rest; the Parkinson’s tremor appears at rest and often eases with use. Essential tremor is also more common, usually symmetrical, may affect the head or voice, and often runs in families.
Will it turn into Parkinson’s disease?
No. Essential tremor is a different condition with a different mechanism and course. Patients who have read about tremor frequently arrive expecting the worse diagnosis, and that expectation is not correct.
Will treatment stop the tremor?
It reduces amplitude rather than eliminating it, which is worth knowing before starting so an effective treatment is not judged a failure. A meaningful reduction is frequently enough to restore writing, eating in company and handling small objects.
Is it worth treating if it is only embarrassing?
Yes. Avoiding eating out, writing in front of people or carrying a drink across a room are real restrictions and a legitimate reason to treat. Patients frequently under-report the impact because the tremor seems trivial to describe.
How this page was sourced
The office address, suite number and ZIP code come from the practice own published listing. That both laboratories hold AANEM electrodiagnostic accreditation independently, and the absence of imaging, infusion, surgical, paediatric and emergency services, are documented rather than inferred.
Essential tremor with an honest account of what treatment achieves, the reassurance that it does not become Parkinson’s, and social restriction as a legitimate treatment indication.
