Non-Motor Symptoms: Grants Pass

If asked to describe the symptoms of Parkinson’s, the average person is likely to list the Hallmark Motor Symptoms – Tremor, Slowness of Movement, Stiffness, and Changes in Balance and Posture. What most people are not aware of is the wide spectrum of non-motor symptoms an individual with Parkinson’s may experience – issues with sleep, blood pressure and the GI tract to name just a few. Nor do they know how the non-motor symptoms may, in fact, have a greater impact on an individual’s daily activities and overall quality of life.

In their presentation, Dr. Block and Dr. Decker will provide an overview of the different non-motor symptoms, how they present, and how they are managed.

This a free education program.

Hope in Parkinson’s: Coos Bay

Part of our rural outreach initiative, Hope in PD is our third piece of education in Coos Bay. We have come together to learn about the disease, services in the area, lifestyle recommendations and now we will hear from a neurologist about the latest in the field of Parkinson’s medicine.

There are more treatment options for Parkinson’s disease now than there have ever been. This is an exciting time with the development of new biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease through spinal fluid, as well as new diagnostics through skin biopsy. Dr. Kraakevik will be discussing current treatments, ongoing research studies, and how to maintain hope in the face of Parkinson’s Disease.
