In some cases, surgery may be appropriate if the disease doesn't respond to drugs. A therapy called deep brain stimulation (DBS) has now been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In DBS, electrodes are implanted into the brain and connected to a small electrical device called a pulse generator that can be externally programmed. DBS can reduce the need for levodopa and related drugs, which in turn decreases the involuntary movements called dyskinesias that are a common side effect of levodopa. It also helps to alleviate fluctuations of symptoms and to reduce tremors, slowness of movements, and gait problems. DBS requires careful programming of the stimulator device in order to work correctly.

It was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson, a British physician who published a paper on what he called "the shaking palsy." In this paper, he set forth the major symptoms of the disease that would later bear his name. Researchers believe that at least 500,000 people in the

Click Image to Enlarge Parkinson's disease (PD or, simply, Parkinson's) is the most common form of parkinsonism, a group of motor system disorders. It is a slowly progressing, degenerative disease that is usually associated with the following symptoms, all of which result from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells: tremor or trembling of the arms, jaw, legs, and face stiffness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk bradykinesia (slowness of movement) postural instability, or impaired balance and coordination Dopamine is a substance produced in the body which has many effects, including smooth and coordinated muscle movement. Facts about Parkinson's disease: What causes Parkinson's disease (PD)? The specific cause of PD is unknown; however, medical experts believe the symptoms are related to a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by brain-cell death. Parkinson's disease is chronic (persists over a long period of time), and progressive (symptoms grow worse over time). Although the disease may appear in younger patients (even teenagers), it usually affects people in late middle age. It is not contagious, nor is it likely passed on from generation to generation.

PD is the most common cause of chronic progressive parkinsonism , a term which refers to the syndrome of tremor rigidity bradykinesia and postural instability. Among non motor symptoms are autonomic dysfunction, cognitive and neurobehavioral problems including dementia , and sensory and sleep difficulties. PD usually appears around the age of 60, although there are young-onset cases. PD is also called "primary parkinsonism" or " idiopathic PD" (meaning having no known cause), although some cases have a genetic origin. Many risk and protective factors have been investigated, showing an increased risk of PD in those living in rural environments and those exposed to pesticides; and a reduced risk in smokers. Symptoms result from insufficient formation and action of dopamine produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain (specifically the substantia nigra ). Pathologically the disease is characterized by the accumulation of

Site Map HealthSavvy Sign In Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease is a progressive, chronic brain condition that results from the loss of cells in a region of the brain that controls movement. This loss causes a deficiency of a certain brain chemical (dopamine), which causes movement problems. Even though there are many theories as to why these brain cells die, no actual cause of Parkinson's disease has ever been proven. Treatment typically involves medication.

Support Mayo Now Summary "It's a devastating disorder that affects a million Americans, and millions around the world. It is associated with shortened life, a lot of misery and a seven-fold increased risk of nursing home placement. It is a bad disease." D.M. Maraganore, M.D. Due in large part to significant private and government funding, Parkinson's research has advanced to the point that halting progression, restoring function, and even preventing Parkinson's are now considered realistic goals. Demetrius (Jim) M. Maraganore, M.D. Parkinson's is about communication. It is very complex, but in a way, it is also that simple. In an area of the brain called the substantia nigra, a specialized set of neurons sends signals in the form of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. The signals travel to the striatum via long fibers called axons. The activity of this pathway controls normal movements of the body. When neurons in the substantia nigra degenerate, the resulting loss of dopamine causes the nerve cells of the striatum to fire excessively. This makes it impossible for people to control their movements, leading to the familiar and most obvious symptoms of Parkinson's. Visible symptoms are important here because diagnosis still depends on clinical observation. There are no blood or lab tests that can confirm Parkinson's disease.

Some cranial sacral therapists are more technique oriented. They are trained to move through a standard serious of adjustments. I loved receiving the  Bowen treatment from John. It clearly allows for gentle releases of stress, trauma and tension. Bowen therapy is a wonderful therapy, as is craniosacral.  Either one will work for some people and not others. It is more physical than craniosacral therapy, but both can generate similar outcomes. If one therapy does not help you, try the other!

Share: Send to a Friend Print Signs and Symptoms of Parkinson's People with idiopathic Parkinson's disease may develop several symptoms over time; however, most patients do not develop all of the symptoms associated with the condition. In most cases, primary symptoms include slow movements (bradykinesia), tremor, rigidity, and parkinsonian gait. Symptoms of Parkinson's usually begin on one side of the body. Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Parkinson's Disease (Free Handout) Parkinson's disease may progress quickly or gradually over years. Many patients become profoundly disabled and others continue to function relatively well. Article Continues Below Symptoms of Parkinson's can vary from day to day or even moment to moment. There often is no clear reason for this fluctuation of symptoms; however, it may be attributable to disease process or to antiparkinson medications. Primary Symptoms of Parkinson's Bradykinesia is slowness in voluntary movement. It produces difficulty initiating movement, as well as difficulty completing movement once it is in progress. The delayed transmission of signals from the brain to the skeletal muscles, due to diminished dopamine, produces bradykinesia. Bradykinesia and rigidity that affects the facial muscles can result in an expressionless, "mask-like" appearance. Tremors in the hands, fingers, forearm, or foot tend to occur when the limb is at rest, but not when the patient is performing tasks. Tremor may occur in the mouth and chin as well.
