Parkinson's Disease Treatment

What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's Disease treatment is available at Specialized Physical Therapy – Burlington and Specialized Physical Therapy – Cherry Hill. But, what is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and ultimately, overall quality of life. Many people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease experience changes in the movement affecting their quality of life. These changes impact strength, endurance, balance, gait, range of motion, and coordination. People with Parkinson's disease typically do not realize how much of an impact the disease has on their bodies early on, and a new sense of "normal" is established. This new normal ultimately leads to movements being smaller and slower. But just because a disease is progressive does NOT mean that it has to be debilitating.

What Can Be Done to Treat Parkinson's Disease?

Nearly 8 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and the most effective treatment to improve quality of life in this population is movement. Exercise, in conjunction with medications prescribed by your doctor if appropriate, leads to the best overall improvement in movement quality. At Specialized Physical Therapy – Burlington and Specialized Physical Therapy – Cherry Hill, we have Parkinson's Disease specialists who are trained in the LSVT BIG program. LSVT BIG certified clinicians provide one-on-one treatment to that is tailored to the specific needs of each individual.
