As seen LIVE on WPBF 25, Delray Medical Center is the first hospital in the region to offer a new scalpel-free treatment for essential tremor and medication-refractory tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease. MR-guided focused ultrasound by INSIGHTEC™, uses sound wave energy to treat brain tissue at the source of the tremor. No surgical incision or anesthesia is necessary, and patients may experience immediate and significant reduction in their hand tremors, giving them a chance to get back to their daily activities

Dr. Lloyd Zucker, Chair of Surgery and Medical Director of Neurosurgery, & Palm Beach Health Network Physician Group's Dr. Arif Dalvi, Physician Chief of the Movement Disorders Program, perform the procedure together.
