Parkinson Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the control of movement, due to changes in areas of the brain responsible for coordinating muscle activity.
Common symptoms: tremor at rest, slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, changes in posture and balance, and at times changes in handwriting or voice.
When to see a doctor? When tremors, stiffness, or movement difficulties appear that persist or progress over time.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition; the physical therapist and rehabilitation professionals support the management of mobility, and the geriatrician takes part with older adults. A professional evaluation makes it possible to guide follow-up appropriately.
