The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease on you or a loved one is a common one. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that aids in transmitting impulses to create movements, is depleted when the disease damages the brain's cells that produce it. Patients with Parkinson's disease may notice a tremor in their hands and feet due to this. The side effects of these conditions might still reappear even after taking medication to alleviate them.

The good news is that you can provide the highest quality care for your loved ones without leaving their homes.
