Parkinson's Disease

Southwest Florida Parkinson's Disease Specialists

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder with no known cure.  Neurologists are able to use their resources to slow down/fight the progression of the disease down but still can not resolve the disease.

They also have better methods for achieving faster, more accurate diagnoses. More information about surgical treatments, including alternative therapies is available. The progression of Parkinson’s varies in every patient.  The process may be slower in one patient from the next.  There is no real rhyme or reason for this.

Symptoms (When should you see a Neurologist)

If your experiencing any new onset of symptoms such as; tremors, stiffness only on one side of the body or more on one side than the other, or muscle weakness.
