Parkinson’s Disease Treatment
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. It develops gradually, often starting as a slight tremor in one hand, progressing to stiffness and slowing of movement. In the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, the face may show decreased expression, speech may become soft/slurred, and arms may cease to swing when one walks. Symptoms worsen over time.
Parkinson’s disease symptoms include:
- Tremors or shaking (usually beginning in a limb, hand, or fingers)
- Slowed movement
- Rigid muscles
- Impaired posture and balance
- Loss of automatic movements
- Speech changes
- Writing changes
