Parkinson’s > See the Complete List
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that leads to muscle stiffness, shaking, difficulty with balance, coordination, and walking. Often symptoms get worse over time, which leads to difficulties in talking and brain function. The central cause of Parkinson’s is loss of nerve cells in the brain called substantia nigra. Research in the Lyme Disease community has found that symptoms identical to Parkinson’s are found in chronic Lyme disease patients, who lacked proper treatment, including insufficient duration of therapy. Lyme disease is often called the great imitator for this reason.
At the Stram Center we aim to differentiate between Parkinson’s diagnosis from Lyme so that we can pursue appropriate treatment. Integrative Medicine protocols that include acupuncture and medical massage can reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Medical Marijuana, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a variety of IV therapies are important components of the wellness plan for reducing Parkinson’s symptoms.
