Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, leading to tremors, muscle stiffness, slowed movements, and balance difficulties. Non-motor symptoms, including sleep disturbances, depression, and cognitive changes, may also occur. Early diagnosis and targeted intervention can significantly improve quality of life and slow disease progression.
Comprehensive Parkinson’s Care
The Parkinson’s Disease Clinic at Emirates Hospitals is dedicated to providing advanced care and support for individuals living with this condition. Our multidisciplinary team of neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and counselors collaborates to deliver a personalized approach to treatment.
Diagnosis involves a detailed neurological examination, imaging studies, and lab tests to assess motor and non-motor symptoms. Once diagnosed, we develop individualized treatment plans, incorporating medication management, physical therapies, and lifestyle modifications. For advanced cases, we offer innovative treatments such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and infusion therapies.
Beyond medical treatments, our clinic focuses on empowering patients and their families through education, counseling, and support groups. Our goal is to enhance mobility, independence, and overall well-being while addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of Parkinson’s disease.
