Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. Some symptoms of Parkinsons are tremors mainly in the hands, stiffness, and difficulty speaking or walking. If a neurologist diagnoses a patient with Parkinson’s, he or she will prescribe medication to increase dopamine levels which will control the symptoms, in more severe cases, surgery may be advised. In Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) the surgeon places electrodes into an area of the brain, these electrodes are connected to a box that is placed in your chest that sends electrical impulses to the brain, this reduces the symptoms. This surgery needs to be done on both sides of the brain. If you or anyone you know is experiencing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease please see your medical doctor or get a second opinion for your peace of mind.
