Movement disorders are neurological conditions that result in the inability to perform routine physical activities with ease. Many individuals suffer from some form of involuntary movement (such as tremors, twitching, spasms, or tics), and/or have difficulty with intentional movements (for example, walking or speaking).
Parkinson’s disease (often called PD) is a chronic and progressive neurological disorder. It develops slowly over time, and symptoms typically worsen as the disease progresses. It primarily affects people over 60, although younger individuals can also be diagnosed. It is advisable to get Parkinson’s Disease Treatment on time.
How to identify if you have Parkinson’s disease- Common symptoms
Parkinson’s disease can show up differently from person to person, but there are some classic “cardinal” symptoms that many experience:
Movement disorders are neurological conditions that affect how your body moves. They can cause involuntary movements like tremors or spasms, or difficulty controlling voluntary actions, including walking or speaking. Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common types.
Common symptoms include tremors (shaking), slow movements, muscle stiffness, a stooped posture, reduced handwriting size, a softer voice, and decreased facial expressions. Non-motor symptoms like sleep problems, loss of smell, constipation, and mood changes can also occur.
Diagnosis is typically made by a neurologist based on your symptoms and a physical examination. There is no single test, but imaging techniques, such as a DaTscan, may be used to help confirm the diagnosis.
Parkinson’s is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Dopamine helps control movement, so when its levels drop, usually gradually, symptoms start to appear. Genetics, environment, and aging can all contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Movement disorders care is led by experienced Parkinson’s Disease Specialists. They provide personalized treatment plans focused on improving mobility and quality of life.
