Parkinson’s Disease Overview

Parkinson’s disease is a condition that causes slow, long-term degeneration of the central nervous system, which is vital to maintain the normal function of the motor system. As the symptoms begin, a Parkinson's patient will slowly start to lose control over what movements are being made and begin to have more difficulties with movements as simple as walking. Unfortunately, not a lot of information has been discovered about why Parkinson’s disease occurs or what makes an individual more likely to develop it than others, but treatments have been found to help control it.

Symptoms Of Parkinson's Disease

Not everyone has the same experience when it comes to dealing with Parkinson's disease. Symptoms may progress at different rates for different patients and the order in which they occur can easily vary from case to case. The most common symptom, and the one Parkinson's patients and their families typically notice first, is the development of tremors. Tremors due to Parkinson's disease usually start in just one limb or on one side of the body, then slowly spread. They are often triggered by stress or emotional experiences and lessen when the body is relaxed.
