Q&A
Parkinson's Disease

What is Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive condition that develops because of the breakdown of neuronal cells in the brain. These cells produce a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which supports communication within your brain's movement pathways. When these cells become damaged, dopamine levels decrease, causing the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease.

​

Researchers theorize that genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of Parkinson’s disease.

What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease symptoms may go unnoticed at first and progressively worsen over time. Common symptoms include:

  • Tremors, especially in the hands and fingers

  • Slow movement

  • Stooped posture

  • Changes in speech pattern

  • Muscle rigidity

​

Parkinson’s disease may also affect facial expressions or cause difficulties in handwriting.

How is Parkinson’s disease diagnosed?

There’s no single test for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease. The experts at All Neurological Services conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate diagnosis.

Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical and family history, and performs a physical and neurological exam. They may also request diagnostic tests such as a CT scan or an MRI to rule out other conditions that might explain your symptoms.
