Parkinson's Disease Treatment
Understanding Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement control. It commonly develops gradually, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and impaired balance. At Norton Community Medical Associates, we understand the impact this condition can have on individuals and their families. Our mission is to provide comprehensive care and support for patients with Parkinson's disease.
Customized Treatment Plans
Our neurosciences program offers personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical expertise, advanced technologies, and compassionate care to optimize outcomes. Our team of specialists, including neurologists, movement disorder specialists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, collaborates closely to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for every patient.
Medication Management
Parkinson's disease is typically managed with medication to alleviate symptoms and slow down the progress of the disease. Our experienced neurologists are skilled in prescribing the most effective medications available to control tremors, stiffness, and rigidity associated with Parkinson's disease. We ensure that our patients are on the appropriate medication regimen, adjusting dosages as needed to achieve optimal symptom management.
Physical and Occupational Therapy
Physical and occupational therapy play a crucial role in managing Parkinson's disease. Our team of highly trained therapists specializes in motor rehabilitation, balance training, and improving mobility for patients with Parkinson's disease. Through targeted exercises, specialized equipment, and innovative techniques, we aim to enhance patients' quality of life and functional independence.
Surgical Interventions
In some cases, surgical interventions may be considered for Parkinson's disease patients who do not respond adequately to medication. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into targeted areas of the brain to help regulate abnormal electrical signals responsible for motor symptoms. Our skilled neurosurgeons work closely with neurologists to evaluate patients for surgical interventions and ensure the best possible outcomes.
