Parkinson's disease physiotherapy treatment in Delhi
Parkinson's disease is a common neurological condition with symptoms typically beginning after the age of 50. There are a number of genetic and environmental variables that may play a role in its development. For example, the chances of acquiring this disease may increase with exposure to different chemicals such as pesticides. Also, the presence of various genetic factors, have been linked to an increased incidence.
Parkinson's disease develops when certain neurons in the brain become damaged. This damage leads to a number of symptoms, such as tremors, slowed movement, altered facial expressions, and cognitive decline. Other symptoms such as insomnia and depression may also occur. This damage may start years before symptoms do.
Medications are the most common treatment, and are generally geared towards managing symptoms. Unfortunately, progression of the disease still occurs. As the disease progresses, the medications often become less effective. As they become less effective, they may require higher dosages, which carries an increased risk of side effects.
The medications presently used are valuable in managing symptoms, and thus improving quality of life. However, other treatments may also be incorporated into this approach to improve overall results. This can potentially improve medication effectiveness and possibly slow the disease progression.
Studies suggest that various antioxidant therapies, such as supplements and herbal treatments, may be used to help accomplish this. Also, different dietary choices and strategies may be used to protect the neurons and improve medication effectiveness.
Acupuncture has also received some attention. Various studies have been performed to assess its effectiveness in treating Parkinson’s disease. Evidence suggests that acupuncture may protect the neurons by enhancing the body's natural antioxidants, thus potentially slowing the progression of the disease. It may also be effective at reducing tremors and other associated symptoms such as depression, insomnia and pain. Acupuncture may even improve the effectiveness of medications and potentially reduce some of their side effects.
A number of treatment options are available for Parkinson's disease. To ensure treatments are safe and effective, they need to be administered under the guidance of a qualified health care practitioner. This includes various complimentary strategies that may be utilized alongside medications to improve treatment results and potentially slow the progression of the disease.
