What is Parkinsons Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. It causes tremors, stiffness, slowed movement, loss of automatic movements, speech changes, and other symptoms. Although the exact cause remains unknown, certain factors such as age, heredity, and exposure to toxins may increase the risk. While there is no cure, treatment options include medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes.
