Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement control, resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Symptoms often include tremors, stiffness, slow movement, and impaired balance. It can also affect speech, mood, and cognitive function.

At our center, we provide comprehensive Parkinson’s disease management to improve mobility, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life for patients at every stage of the condition.

Our Approach

Parkinson’s disease requires ongoing, individualized care. Our approach focuses on:

  • Accurate diagnosis and detailed clinical evaluation

  • Monitoring disease progression

  • Creating personalized treatment plans combining medical, surgical, and rehabilitative strategies

  • Patient and caregiver education for long-term management

Symptoms We Manage

Our program addresses a wide range of Parkinson’s symptoms, including:

  • Tremors and involuntary movements

  • Muscle stiffness and rigidity

  • Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)

  • Postural instability and balance issues

  • Speech and swallowing difficulties

  • Non-motor symptoms such as sleep disturbances, depression, and cognitive changes

Treatment Options

Medication Management

  • Dopamine replacement therapies (e.g., Levodopa)

  • Dopamine agonists and other neuroprotective medications

  • Customized medication schedules to optimize symptom control

Advanced Therapies

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for advanced Parkinson’s disease

  • Continuous dopaminergic infusion therapies

  • Other novel neuromodulation techniques

Rehabilitation Therapy

  • Physiotherapy to improve mobility, flexibility, and balance

  • Occupational therapy to enhance daily functioning

  • Speech and swallowing therapy for communication and nutrition support

Supportive Care

  • Patient education and counseling for coping strategies

  • Nutritional guidance tailored to Parkinson’s needs

  • Support groups and caregiver training

Our Multidisciplinary Parkinson’s Care Team

Our team includes:

  • Neurologists specializing in movement disorders

  • Neurosurgeons experienced in DBS and advanced interventions

  • Physiotherapists

  • Occupational therapists

  • Speech and swallowing therapists

  • Psychologists and counselors

This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive, patient-centered care throughout the course of the disease.

Goals of Parkinson’s Disease Management

Our objectives are to:

  • Reduce and manage motor and non-motor symptoms

  • Improve mobility, independence, and quality of life

  • Slow disease progression where possible

  • Support patients and caregivers with education and resources

  • Maintain optimal function and well-being
