Parkinson's Disease Q&A

What is Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects your nervous system, gradually hindering body functions when not addressed. Over time, your symptoms can become problematic. See the Rediscover Health specialists to utilize regenerative medicine for tremors or other Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

Which symptoms can Parkinson’s disease cause?

Parkinson’s disease can cause the following:

  • Tremors (rhythmic shaking), often in your fingers or hands
  • Slowed movements
  • Rigid muscles
  • Stiffness
  • Little or no facial expressions
  • Soft or slurred speech
  • Monotone speech
  • Poor balance or posture
  • Decreased ability to smile, blink, or swing your arms
  • Difficulty writing
  • Cognitive problems
  • Swallowing, chewing, or eating issues
  • Depression or other mental health disorders 
  • Bladder or bowel problems
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Fatigue
  • Pain
  • Sexual dysfunction 

When left untreated, your symptoms may worsen over time. They typically begin on one side of the body and remain worse on that side, even after symptoms appear on both sides of the body.

What increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease risk factors include:

  • Aging
  • Family history of Parkinson’s disease
  • Gene variations 
  • Pesticides or other toxins

The disease causes nerve cells in your brain to break down and die gradually. However, the exact cause of Parkinson’s disease isn’t fully clear. 

Adopting healthy habits may reduce the risk of developing it, but there’s no surefire way to prevent it. 

Can cellular repair infusions help with Parkinson’s disease?

There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but Rediscover Health offers regenerative medicine infusions to minimize troublesome symptoms and reduce the risk of worsening impairment. 

Intravenous (IV) therapy may stimulate new cell growth and healing in patients with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia.

Follow up with Rediscover Health for additional treatment sessions as directed and adopt healthy lifestyle habits. Eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, minimize stress, and try relaxation techniques.
