Essential tremors affect about 10 million people in this country. Deep brain stimulation is a very popular and effective option, but it requires surgery. That's why many are opting for a less invasive procedure that, turns out, is also very effective. #EssentialTremor #MovementDisorder #NormanPrinceNeurosciencesInsititue #FocusedUltrasound

About us
Lifespan, Rhode Island's first health system, was founded in 1994 by Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital. A comprehensive, integrated, academic health system, Lifespan’s present partners also include RI Hospital’s Hasbro Children's Hospital , Bradley Hospital, and Newport Hospital. A not-for-profit organization, Lifespan is overseen by a board of volunteer community leaders who are guided by its mission to improve the health status of the people it serves in Rhode Island and New England through the provision of customer friendly, geographically accessible and high value services. At Lifespan, Rhode Island’s largest health system and private employer, our employees represent a broad spectrum of experience, occupations and cultural backgrounds. Throughout Lifespan’s network of nationally recognized hospitals, you’ll find a commitment to community wellbeing and world-class nursing and health care opportunities. If you share our commitment to community caring, we invite you to choose the hospital and the area that suits you best, whether it’s Providence, named one of the best places to live in the U.S., or beautiful Newport, the “city by the sea.” The American Heart Association has certified the Lifespan health system as a Gold Level Start! Fit-Friendly Company, an award that recognizes employers that go “above and beyond” in promoting their employees’ health. Lifespan is the only Rhode Island company with this certification.

Janet was a crafting, cooking, independent certified nursing assistant in Texas who saw the life she built slowly fall away as she developed dropped neck syndrome, a rare condition that left her neck muscles so weak that her head would drop forward and to the side. Unfortunately, dropped head syndrome took away her ability to enjoy her craft or even be able to eat easily. Her condition was more than a physical struggle; it was an emotional one too. Janet traveled to Rhode Island from Texas to meet with Dr. Alan Daniels, chief of the Division of Spine Surgery and director of the Adult Spinal Deformity Service at Rhode Island and The Miriam hospitals, part of the Lifespan Orthopedics Institute. “There are very few centers in the country that take care of spine problems that are this complicated,” said Dr. Daniels. Just nine days post-surgery, Janet was walking confidently with a brace, and within three weeks, she was off pain medication and actively participating in physical therapy.
