Living with tremor, stiffness, or balance problems can be hard. These symptoms can affect daily life and independence. Our movement disorders clinic offers specialist care for these conditions. Care is led by a consultant neurologist who focuses on movement disorders. We assess and treat Parkinson’s disease, hand tremor, dystonia, restless legs syndrome, and other movement conditions. Early diagnosis is important, especially for Parkinson’s disease. We look for clear signs such as slow movement, stiffness, shaking at rest, and balance problems. Treatment is tailored to each person. This may include medicines that support brain chemicals, access to advanced treatments when needed, and physical therapy to help improve movement, strength, and balance. Our goal is to reduce symptoms, protect independence, and improve quality of life.
Our clinic helps people access movement disorder assessments without long waiting times. We are an option when delays make it hard to get answers. A visit with our specialist includes a full neurological review, not just a brief check. We begin by understanding the exact movement problem. This may include tremor, stiffness, slow movement, balance issues, or involuntary movements. Some conditions need early attention, and we screen for these from the start.
Once we understand the type of movement disorder, we recommend the right next steps. This may include detailed clinical assessment, imaging tests, or medication review. These assessments help us identify whether symptoms are linked to Parkinson’s disease, tremor disorders, or other neurological conditions. We also review daily routines, sleep, stress, and current medications. This helps us find factors that may worsen symptoms. Our goal is to reduce movement problems, improve daily function, and guide long-term care with confidence.
We believe in clear pricing without hidden costs. Our fees for private neurology consultations are as follows:
If any tests are needed, we will explain them first. You will know the cost before any test is done.
Dr Sarmad Al-Araji is a Consultant Neurologist based in the Midlands. He treats complex neurological conditions. In 2024, he was appointed by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. He now provides specialist care at our Sutton Coldfield clinic.
Dr. Al-Araji’s clinical practice is deeply rooted in cutting-edge research. He earned his PhD in Clinical Neurology from University College London (UCL), where he focused his doctoral studies on individualised treatment responses. This advanced research background allows him to take a precision-medicine approach to Movement Disorders, tailoring therapies to the unique biological and lifestyle profile of each patient rather than relying on a “one size fits all” solution.
Having completed his specialist neurology training within the West Midlands Deanery, Dr. Al-Araji has a deep connection to the local medical community. He is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and holds a Specialty Certificate in Neurology, reflecting his commitment to clinical excellence and modern neurological standards.

Hand tremors can be caused by various factors, ranging from Essential Tremor (often hereditary) to Parkinson’s Disease or metabolic issues. A movement disorder neurologist is needed to distinguish between these causes through physical examination and history.
There is no blood test for Parkinson’s. A movement disorder specialist diagnoses it through a neurological exam, evaluating your movements, muscle tone, and balance. In some cases, specialized imaging may be used to support the diagnosis.
You should seek a specialist if you experience uncontrollable body movements, persistent stiffness, or if your tremor begins to interfere with your daily activities or social confidence.
Yes. While many conditions are chronic, symptoms can be effectively managed for years with the right combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and specialist monitoring.
Diagnosis often involves clinical observation, but your specialist may order MRI scans, blood tests to rule out metabolic issues, or specialized neuroimaging to assess the dopamine system in the brain.
