Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that progresses slowly in most people. PD targets and affects the central nervous system and impacts more than 1.5 million people in the United States. Due to the nature of PD, the symptoms typically get worse over time. Most physicians focus on treatments that help control the symptoms of PD that enable you to manage your PD and enhance your quality of life.
Parkinson’s disease can cause several different symptoms. The specific symptoms that an individual may experience vary from person to person and case to case. Some of the most common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:
- Tremor of the hands, arms, legs, jaw and face
- Rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk
- Slowness of movement
- Postural instability or impaired balance and coordination
- In some cases Parkinsonian type Dementia
