The treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with Essential Tremors and Tremor-Dominant Parkinson's Disease, the team procedure creates a precise lesion in the brain tissue to disrupt irregular signals causing the tremors, without requiring surgical cuts or device implants. This results in reduced complications and quicker recovery compared to conventional surgical doctors said that the patient disclosed her withdrawal from social life as she felt self-conscious about her struggle with fundamental tasks such as drinking, eating without assistance and signing sought help from multiple specialists and underwent various treatments.

Kevin Bacon performs song from his classic 80s film weeks after 'banning' it
Kevin Bacon recently declared he would not be getting 'footloose' any time soon, only to belt the classic 80s song a month later. The American actor banned the lead track to the 1984 film after being asked to dance 'like a monkey' too many times. Footloose saw him play Ren McCormack – a Chicago teenager who tries to overturn a ban on dancing in a small Utah town. Kenny Loggins sang the track, which became an international hit, while the music video featured Kevin, 66, and his dance moves. He previously revealed that it is his 'nightmare' that Footloose might begin to play while he's unsuspectingly enjoying his life. Despite his protesting, Kevin not only played the song but sang it himself while at Stagecoach Festival in California over the weekend. The Bacon Band performed Footloose with Kevin on vocals and tambourine and his brother Michael on guitar. Fans were shocked to hear the track sung so soon after the Tremors actor begged for a break from it. While at SXSW Festival in March, Kevin told the crowd: 'My worst nightmare is to be at a wedding and the DJ puts on Footloose. They always start out being about the bride, and then there's alcohol involved. 'And by about 10:30, the song comes on, and suddenly the wedding becomes about me getting out and dancing. People will literally form a circle around me and clap their hands like I'm a trained monkey.' He's even gone to the extent of approaching DJs early at events like weddings and parties to try to politely stop the tune from rearing its head. He confessed that he has 'no one to blame' but himself, as he 'wanted' the fame and global recognition. Footloose was a major success, becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 1984, and while it wasn't his first role, it became Kevin's best known. 'It was definitely my dream to have all those things,' he told the audience at SXSW. 'But until you really have that, you don't really realise there's something kind of strange about it – it was just so the opposite of how I wanted to view myself.' His feelings aren't from a dislike of the film or the song, which he said he loves and is '100% proud of. After 40 years of being asked to dance on command, we can imagine it gets old. More Trending This isn't the first time the actor has expressed frustration at the Footloose expectations, as he confessed to Metro last year he 'doesn't know' what the dance actually is. Kevin remarked he has become slightly irritated by people asking him to perform it – a precursor to his banning He said: 'When people say, 'Do the Footloose dance,' I don't know what the Footloose dance is. I was on a red carpet recently – a couple of people [asked me] 'Will you do the Footloose dance?' And I'm like, 'No!' 'I'll do that when I choose to do it.' Got a story?

Here's all you need to know: A Facebook account called Rumbledore recently announced that Netflix is developing an eight-episode Tremors reboot, with Kevin Bacon set to reprise his role as Valentine 'Val' McKee. The post quickly went viral, amassing thousands of views. However, a fact check conducted by Newsweek revealed that the news was false. The outlet revealed that the account responsible for the viral claim 'occasionally posts satire and sometimes inaccurate information.' This clearly means a Tremors series is not coming to Netflix.

'Tremors' sequel: The truth behind rumours of Kevin Bacon's return with new Netflix series
Stampede Entertainment has announced it is developing a new project based on the cult classic Tremors after reclaiming rights to the original 1990 script. The company is considering a "return-to-Perfection" story and hinted at the potential involvement of Kevin Bacon reprising his role as Valentine McKee, though plans remain early and unconfirmed. The producers stressed that the new concept will not be a remake or based on unused scripts from past sequels, such as the original version of Tremors 5. Fresh settings and ideas for the graboids are being explored to expand the world first seen in the original film. Amid the excitement, confusion spread online after a viral Facebook post claimed that Netflix was developing a Tremors series starring Bacon. However, Newsweek reported that the source is unreliable and confirmed there are no current plans for Netflix involvement in the franchise. The Tremors franchise previously ventured into television with a 2003 series aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. The series, featuring Michael Gross and Victor Brown, was cancelled after one season but remains available to stream on Tubi. Fans eager to revisit the original film, which starred Bacon alongside Fred Ward, Finn Carter, and Reba McEntire, can find it streaming on AMC+ or available for rental on Prime Video. The original Tremors has maintained its cult following for over three decades, blending horror and comedy in a story about a small town battling subterranean monsters.
