Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorders

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement due to the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. Key symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance issues. Movement disorders encompass a range of conditions that impair the ability to control body movements, including Parkinson's, essential tremor, and dystonia. These disorders can lead to difficulties in daily activities and often require a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adaptations to manage symptoms effectively. Understanding these conditions helps improve quality of life for affected individuals.
