Parkinson Disease

What is Parkinson Disease? It is quite a dreaded word for some, but in plain English, it is a disorder of the nervous system.

 

The nervous system itself has the very important job of communication by way of impulses to control the body's hundreds of functions to keep it alive and healthy. During the communication process, chemical substances called neurotransmitters are released to pass “messages” to their destination. An easy way to relate to that is by looking at people's traditional form of communication. When we speak, we emit sound waves. Those sound waves, in turn, are intercepted by the ear which translates the meaning of the sound waves. One way that the nervous system communicates is through those chemicals called neurotransmitters.

In the case of Parkinson Disease, certain parts of the brain have a deficiency of the neurotransmitter called dopamine. This lack of dopamine leads to miss-information in those parts of the brain that normally prevent certain muscles from being overstimulated. The physical signs usually associated with Parkinson Disease are rigidity and trembling of the head and extremities, a forward tilt of the trunk, and a shuffling gait with short steps and reduced arm swinging. Of course, there are other signs, but these are the most common.
