Move Freely: Awareness Session Tackles Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease frequently commences with subtle indicators such as minor tremors or stiffness, often misattributed to aging. Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road recently organized an awareness session titled 'Move With Ease, Live With Confidence' to help the public recognize these early symptoms and the benefits of prompt medical attention.

The event featured neurologists and neurosurgeons who discussed the critical role of movement in well-being and addressed Parkinson's disease misconceptions. They highlighted that conditions like Parkinson's are neurodegenerative but manageable with early diagnosis, medication, physiotherapy, and sometimes surgical options like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which can restore a patient's quality of life.

Experts stressed that movement disorders are treatable and manageable, urging individuals to seek neurological consultation for appropriate care. Initiatives like these are vital as Parkinson's prevalence is projected to rise, aiming to break stigma and promote understanding for better patient outcomes.
