Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) affects 10% of Americans, yet most are told to “just live with it.” At Patients Medical in NYC, we uncover the hidden triggers behind your symptoms—from nutrient deficiencies to nervous system imbalances—and create personalized plans to calm your legs and restore deep sleep.
We treat the whole nervous system, not just your symptoms.
