Parkinson’s Care in Norfolk

When a loved one is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, it’s important you take the time to understand the disease, its symptoms, and its progression. Understanding the disease and how it will affect your loved one will help you ensure you find Parkinson’s care in the Norfolk, VA area that’s right for your loved one.

What is Parkinson’s?

Parkinson’s disease affects your loved one’s brain. It can impact your loved one’s mobility as well as their cognitive functioning.

Parkinson’s is a slow progressive disorder. This means that while the symptoms of the disease may be minimal to begin with, they will progress over time and may leave your loved one unable to perform day-to-day tasks and live independently.

While Parkinson’s affects different people in different ways, the main symptoms of the disease include:

  • Mobility Problems. Parkinson’s may cause a stiffness and sudden freezing in your loved one’s limbs which over time can leave them unable to stand or walk.
  • Tremors. Slight tremors when your loved one is at rest may increase as the disease progresses, eventually leaving your loved one unable to perform day-to-day tasks and activities.
  • Balance Issues. Parkinson’s can affect your loved one’s ability to balance, leaving them at a higher risk of falling.
  • Non-Motor Symptoms. Your loved one may experience depression and anxiety, trouble sleeping, a slowing of thoughts, and hallucination and delusions.
