What Is Parkinson's Disease?
Doobie Doc provides cannabis medicine as part of a Parkinson's disease management plan. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects movement. It happens when nerve cells in the brain stop making enough dopamine, leading to movement issues. The effects of Parkinson's disease often begin slowly and worsen over time. There are five Parkinson's disease stages:
- Early signs may include mild tremors or stiffness
- Symptoms become more noticeable but do not affect daily life much
- Movement issues grow, and daily activities take more effort
- Severe symptoms make independent movement difficult
- The most advanced stage limits mobility almost completely
A personalized treatment plan from Doobie Doc can help at any stage. Schedule a consultation at our Tampa, FL practice today. We provide clear information and compassionate care to help you manage this condition.
How Is Parkinson's Disease Treated?
Treatment focuses on easing symptoms and improving quality of life. Parkinson's disease medication is common, helping to balance dopamine levels in the brain. Other therapies like physical activity and specialized care play a role. Emerging research highlights cannabis as a potential therapy. Studies suggest cannabinoids interact with brain receptors that affect movement and pain, offering relief for some symptoms, such as reducing tremors, improving sleep, and reducing anxiety.
What Are the Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease?
Symptoms of Parkinson's disease develop gradually. Some may be mild at first but become harder to ignore. A treatment plan from Doobie Doc in Tampa, FL can help manage common Parkinson's disease symptoms, such as:
- Tremors in the hands, arms, legs, or face
- Stiffness in the arms or legs
- Slowed movement that makes everyday tasks harder
- Balance problems leading to falls
- Speech changes, such as soft or slurred speech
- Sleep disturbances, including restless legs or vivid dreams
