Overview

Degenerative diseases are conditions that cause progressive deterioration of the structure or function of the body. They can affect any part of the body, including the brain, heart, muscles, joints, or any other organ or system. Examples of degenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These diseases are all linked by the fact that they cause cells in the body to degenerate, leading to impaired physical and mental functioning. Treatments for these diseases vary but can include physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. For those living with a degenerative disease, early diagnosis and intervention can help to reduce the severity of the symptoms and improve quality of life.
