How is Parkinson’s Diagnosed?

At this time, there is not a lab test to determine if an individual has Parkinson’s. The diagnosis of Parkinson’s and related disorders is made based on a careful and thorough history of symptoms and neurologic exam.

How is Parkinson’s Treated?

No two individuals experience the disease in exactly the same way, so treatments need to be catered to each individual’s needs. Treatments can include exercise, physical therapy, voice therapy, medications, injections, and other interventions. In addition, a healthy balanced diet, adequate rest, and relaxation aids in managing the condition.
