Parkinson's Management

Parkinson’s Management

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement control, leading to tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. Managing Parkinson’s disease requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms, enhances quality of life, and supports overall well-being. At Dr. Vijay Bathina Neuro Rehab, we specialize in providing individualized care and advanced therapies to help manage Parkinson’s disease effectively.

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. This neurodegenerative process leads to a range of symptoms, including:

  • Tremors: Involuntary shaking or trembling, often starting in one hand or limb.
  • Bradykinesia: Slowness of movement, making everyday tasks more challenging.
  • Muscle Rigidity: Stiffness in muscles, which can limit movement and cause discomfort.
  • Postural Instability: Difficulty maintaining balance and coordination, increasing the risk of falls.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease symptoms can vary widely among individuals but commonly include:

  • Tremors: Resting tremors in the hands, arms, or legs.
  • Bradykinesia: Slow and reduced movement, affecting activities like walking or writing.
  • Muscle Rigidity: Increased muscle tone leading to stiffness and difficulty with movements.
  • Postural Instability: Balance problems and a tendency to fall.
  • Non-Motor Symptoms: Changes in mood, cognitive function, sleep disturbances, and autonomic dysfunction.
