Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, muscle control, and balance. It often begins subtly but can significantly impact quality of life if not addressed early.
Dr. Chetna Patil is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with Parkinson’s, from early diagnosis to long-term management.
Common early symptoms include tremors at rest, slowed movement (bradykinesia), rigidity, and changes in handwriting or posture. Non-motor symptoms like depression, sleep disturbances, and loss of smell can also appear years before diagnosis.
At our clinic, diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by imaging if needed. While there's no cure yet for Parkinson’s, several medications can effectively manage symptoms. Dr. Chetna Patil tailors treatment plans to each patient's lifestyle and progression rate, often integrating physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Early treatment can significantly slow disease progression and improve quality of life. If you or a loved one shows signs of Parkinson’s, don’t delay seeking medical advice.
