Neurorestoration Center

A program of:

• Neuroscience

Every year, more than 100,000 Minnesotans experience or are affected by pain, movement disorders, bladder dysfunction, spasticity, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

The Neurorestoration Center at United Hospital uniquely provides a wide array of integrative, neurorestorative, therapeutic programs. Restoration of neurological function and quality of life is achieved through advanced neuromodulation techniques that optimize ongoing multimodality neuroscience treatment programs in an economically responsible manner.

The Neurosrestoration Center has been designated as one of 30 sites in the entire nation approved by the FDA to provide deep-brain stimulation therapy for dystonia and torticollis.

What is Neuromodulation?

Neuromodulation combines medicine and bioengineering to provide implantable technologies that improve neurological function and quality of life.

Minimally-invasive techniques such as: deep brain stimulation, spinal stimulation, vagal nerve, sacral nerve, occipital nerve, or medicine pumps can help control pain, movement disorders, bladder dysfunction, spasticity and epilepsy.
