Overview

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive, chronic neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination. It is caused by the death of neurons in specific areas of the brain that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. Symptoms include tremor, muscle rigidity, slow movement, and balance problems. Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease is made through a combination of medical history, physical examination, neurological examination, and a series of tests to rule out other conditions. Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease is normally a combination of medications, physical and occupational therapy, and lifestyle changes. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, delay the progression of the illness, and improve quality of life. With early diagnosis and proper treatment, people with Parkinson’s Disease can have an improved quality of life and a better outlook for the future.
