Parkinson's Disease treatment Calgary
Parkinson’s disease is diagnosed based on the symptoms and a neurological examination. The Parkinson's illness has no known treatment. However, Parkinson's disease sufferers can effectively manage their symptoms and challenges with medication and rehabilitation services provided by a multidisciplinary team.
Parkinson's disease symptoms include tremor, rigidity, stiffness, and slowness of movement. Individuals frequently exhibit postural instability, a flexed posture, and a shuffling gait. A mask-like facial expression and trembling of the arms and legs may be observed by family members. These issues may make it difficult to carry out regular daily tasks and move around the house safely. Changes in feeling, voice, behaviour, thinking, and sleeping can all be secondary issues brought on by Parkinson's disease.

FAQs
Although the precise reason why brain cells quit manufacturing the chemical dopamine is unknown, it is believed that genetic factors play a tiny role in a small number of cases. Motor and cognitive issues are brought on by dopamine deficiency because it interferes with the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain.
