Common Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

The symptoms usually start gradually and worsen over time. Key signs include:

• Tremors – Shaking, especially in the hands, fingers, or jaw
• Bradykinesia – Slowness of movement
• Stiffness – Muscle rigidity in arms, legs, or trunk
• Balance problems – Frequent falls or difficulty maintaining posture
• Facial expression changes – Reduced blinking or masked expression
• Speech changes – Soft, slow, or slurred speech
• Handwriting changes – Writing becomes small or cramped

As the disease progresses, non-motor symptoms such as depression, sleep disturbances, and memory problems may also appear.

Dr. Vamshi Krishna performs a thorough neurological evaluation based on medical history, physical examination, and symptom analysis. Imaging tests like MRI or DaTscan may be recommended to rule out other conditions.

Treatment Approach

While there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s, early and personalized treatment can significantly improve quality of life. Dr. Vamshi Krishna’s approach includes:

✅ Medication Management:
Medications like Levodopa are commonly used to manage symptoms by replenishing the brain's dopamine levels. Dr. Vamshi Krishna customizes the medication plan based on the patient's unique needs and symptom progression.

✅ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):
For patients with advanced Parkinson’s, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) can be a highly effective option. This procedure involves implanting a device that sends electrical signals to specific areas of the brain, helping to control movement symptoms.

✅ Supportive Therapies:
Physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy are essential components of the treatment plan. These therapies help patients maintain mobility, improve speech, and manage daily activities with greater independence.
