Essential Tremors is a condition which involves a progressive neurological condition which causes an involuntary, uncontrollable and rhythmic trembling of the legs, trunk, hands, head or voice. Many times the symptoms create a false diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. It is believed that the root causes are abnormal communication between the brain and other areas such as the thalamus.
