Huntington Disease treatment in Mexico City

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of hereditary origin that progressively affects movement, cognitive abilities, and mood, due to the alteration of certain brain cells.

Frequent symptoms: involuntary movements, changes in coordination and balance, alterations in behavior and thinking, which tend to progress over time.

When to see a doctor? The appearance of involuntary movements, personality changes, or cognitive difficulties, especially with a family history, warrants an evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The approach requires a team: the neurologist directs the study and, within that team, physical therapy plays an important role in maintaining mobility and functionality. If there is a family history or symptoms of concern, the most appropriate option is to seek guidance from these professionals.
