Parkinson’s disease can be best described as a long-term degenerative disease that affects the central nervous system. It mainly affects a person’s motor skills. This disease is not caused by any pathogen or abnormality and the medical field is still trying to understand the disease. Certain factors such as
- Genes
- Environmental triggers
- Age
- Sex
Have been attributed to playing a major role in whether a person can get the disorder
Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include
- Trembling (hands and legs)
- Stiff muscles and joints
- Trouble with movement
- Problem with balance and posture
- Problems writing and speaking
- Loss of automatic movements such as blinking
At the moment, there is no effective treatment for the disease but at Absolute Physical Therapy, there are a couple of physical therapy regimens that make living with the disorder bearable. These regimens include:
- Deep brain stimulation
This form of therapy will require physical therapists at Absolute Physical Therapy to send electrical pulses to your central nervous system. The device used will release these electrical pulses through your brain. The pulses will then block any nerve signals that manifest the disease’s symptoms. Currently, this is considered as the most successful treatment available.
