Tremors Specialist in Ahmedabad
Led by Dr. Chirag N. Solanki, Fellowship-Trained Functional Neuromodulation Surgery (NIMHANS & Oxford)
About Tremor
Tremors are involuntary, rhythmic shaking movements, most commonly affecting the hands but sometimes the head, voice, legs, or trunk. They can interfere with daily activities such as writing, eating, or speaking.
Early evaluation by a tremors specialist in Ahmedabad is essential to identify the cause and start appropriate treatment.

A Closer Look at Tremor
Types of Tremor
Tremor can be classified into two main types:
Rest Tremor
Occurs when the affected body part is relaxed and supported (e.g., hand shaking while resting on the lap). Commonly seen in Parkinson’s disease.
-
Occurs when the body part is relaxed and supported
-
Decreases or stops with voluntary movement
-
Most commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease
Action Tremor
Occurs during voluntary movement and may include:
- Postural Tremor: while holding a position against gravity (e.g., holding arms outstretched).
- Kinetic Tremor: during voluntary movement such as reaching for an object.
- Intention Tremor: increases as the person moves toward a target; commonly linked to cerebellar disorders.
- Task-Specific Tremor: present only during certain actions (e.g., writing tremor).
- Orthostatic Tremor: rapid tremor in the legs when standing.
What Causes Tremor & Risk Factors
Several neurological, physiological, and lifestyle factors may contribute to tremor:
Neurological Conditions
Disorders like essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar damage can disrupt the brain’s motor pathways, leading to involuntary shaking.
Medical or Metabolic Causes
Conditions such as thyroid imbalance, liver or kidney disorders, vitamin deficiencies, or low blood sugar can affect nerves and muscles, contributing to tremors.
Medications or Substances
Some medicines, stimulants, or excessive caffeine can cause tremors. Alcohol withdrawal or certain drug side effects may also make tremors appear or worsen.
Genetic & Age Factors
Certain types of tremor run in families, indicating a hereditary link. The likelihood of developing tremor also increases with advancing age.
Lifestyle & Emotional Triggers
Stress, anxiety, fatigue, or lack of sleep may not directly cause tremors but can make them more noticeable or severe.
Signs That You Need to See a Doctor Right Away
If you see or experience any of the following, Seek neurological evaluation if you experience:
- Tremor begins suddenly
- Tremor affects balance, speech, or coordination
- Tremor interferes with writing, eating, or daily tasks
- There is stiffness, slowness, or difficulty walking
- Tremor worsens over time
Tremors Diagnosis in Ahmedabad
At CNS Neurosurgery, Dr. Chirag Solanki uses advanced diagnostic methods:
- Detailed Neurological Examination
- MRI / CT Scan – To rule out structural brain disorders
- Blood Tests – To detect metabolic or hormonal causes
- Medication Response Assessment
Treatment & Management of Tremor
While there is no cure, symptoms can be effectively managed.
Medications
Medications help reduce tremor severity and improve daily functioning, especially in essential and Parkinsonian tremors.
Physical & Occupational Therapy
Therapy may improve coordination, hand function, and daily activity performance.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Reducing caffeine, managing stress, and improving sleep may help reduce tremor frequency.
Assistive Devices
Weighted utensils, stabilizing devices, or writing aids improve independence.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections
Effective for certain tremor types including head and voice tremor.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
For severe or medication-resistant tremors, DBS surgery in Ahmedabad provides significant and long-lasting tremor control.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Brain lesioning is a surgical treatment used for severe tremors that do not respond well to medications. In this procedure, a neurosurgeon creates a very small, targeted lesion in a specific area of the brain responsible for tremor signals (commonly the thalamus). Radiofrequency (RF) ablation uses controlled heat generated by radio waves to destroy this tiny area of abnormal brain tissue.

F.A.Q.
Find quick, clear answers to common questions about Dr. Chirag N. Solanki’s neurosurgical expertise, functional neuromodulation surgery services, treatment approach, and advanced facilities to help you make confident, informed healthcare decisions.
No. Many tremors, especially essential tremors, are not related to Parkinson’s disease.
Some tremors can be well-controlled. While not all tremors are curable, symptoms can often be significantly reduced with proper treatment.
If tremors interfere with daily activities, worsen over time, or appear suddenly, you should consult a specialist immediately.
No. Most patients respond well to medications. DBS surgery is considered only for severe, medication-resistant tremors.
Brain lesioning with RF ablation is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure where a small, precise area of the brain causing tremor is destroyed using heat generated by radiofrequency energy. This helps reduce or stop abnormal tremor signals.
RF ablation is commonly used to treat severe tremors caused by conditions such as Essential Tremor and Parkinson's Disease, especially when medications are not effective.
Deep Brain Stimulation is a surgical procedure that uses electrical stimulation to regulate abnormal brain activity causing tremors.
Yes. DBS is a well-established and safe procedure when performed by an experienced functional neurosurgeon.
Yes. Stress and anxiety can significantly worsen tremor symptoms.
You can consult Dr. Chirag Solanki at CNS Neurosurgery, Ahmedabad, for advanced tremors diagnosis and treatment.
Patients may be suitable candidates if:
Tremors significantly affect daily life
Medications do not provide adequate relief
The patient is not suitable for Deep Brain Stimulation surgery
A neurologist and neurosurgeon will evaluate each patient individually.
During the procedure, a thin probe is inserted into a precise area of the brain (usually the thalamus). Radiofrequency energy is then used to create a tiny lesion that blocks tremor signals.
