Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It occurs due to the gradual loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, leading to tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. While Parkinson’s has no cure, early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease:
✔ Tremors – Uncontrollable shaking of hands, legs, or jaw
✔ Muscle Stiffness – Difficulty in movement and rigidity in limbs
✔ Slowed Movements (Bradykinesia) – Reduced ability to perform daily activities
✔ Impaired Balance & Posture – Increased risk of falls
✔ Speech & Writing Changes – Soft or slurred speech, difficulty in handwriting
Causes & Risk Factors:
✔ Age & Genetics – Common in people over 60, though early-onset cases exist
✔ Environmental Factors – Exposure to toxins, pesticides, or heavy metals
✔ Brain Chemical Imbalance – Reduced dopamine levels affecting motor control
Parkinson’s Disease Treatment & Management:
✅ Medications – Dopamine-enhancing drugs like Levodopa & Carbidopa to improve symptoms
✅ Physiotherapy & Exercise – Improves flexibility, balance, and mobility
✅ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) – Surgical option for advanced cases, helping control tremors and rigidity
✅ Diet & Lifestyle Modifications – Healthy nutrition and stress management help slow progression
