Parkinson’s Disease

imageParkinson’s disease is a condition that affects different parts of the brain including the muscle movement control areas. People with Parkinson’s can show a number of symptoms, including trembling, muscle stiffness, slow movement, difficulty walking, and poor balance. There can also be mental difficulties such as confusion or memory loss. Parkinson’s affects 1 in 100 people over the age of 60, but it also affects a small number of younger people.  To get answers to all your parkinson’s disease questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites

Thanks to these advances most people can live comfortably for many years after diagnosis.  PhillyHealthInfo.org is here to help you find treatment programs and other Parkinson’s resources in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County.
