Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a collection of uniquely distinguishing symptoms that affect movement and a number of other aspects of daily life. These include, but are not limited to, tremors, slowed movement (bradykinesia), stiffness (postural rigidity), and imbalance. What Parkinson’s looks like differs a bit from person to person, but symptoms always worsen over time.

Parkinson’s disease symptoms can be managed with both medical and surgical treatment options, and you and your healthcare provider should monitor for changes in symptoms over time if you receive a diagnosis.
