Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that affects movement and can also impact things like sleep, mood, and thinking over time.

With early diagnosis and the right treatment, many patients are able to maintain a good quality of life for years.

Symptoms can vary from person to person, but may include:

Movement-related symptoms:

• Tremor at rest
• Slowness of movement
• Muscle stiffness
• Changes in balance or walking

Non-motor symptoms:

• Sleep problems
• Constipation
• Mood changes such as anxiety or depression
• Changes in memory or thinking
• Reduced sense of smell

We focus on long-term care tailored to each patient, including:

Medication management

• Adjusting medications like carbidopa/levodopa
• Optimizing therapy over time
   

Advanced therapies

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) programming
• Evaluation for advanced treatment options
   

Supportive care

• Exercise and physical therapy guidance
• Sleep and non-motor symptom management
   

Treatment plans are adjusted over time as symptoms evolve.

 Consider an evaluation if you notice:

• Persistent tremor
• Slowness or stiffness
• Changes in handwriting or walking
• Balance issues
   

Early evaluation can make a meaningful difference.
