The progressive nature of Parkinson’s disease, a disorder of the nervous system, can be confusing and frustration. Symptoms may start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. The disorder may also cause stiffness or slowing of movement.
Although there isn’t a cure for Parkinson’s disease, several recent studies are beginning to identify promising therapies, including blood pressure medication and yoga, which may significantly improve movement and quality of life.
Parkinson’s Awareness Month is the opportune time to share recent news and resources that may help make life better for people with Parkinson’s.
