Charles was living a full life when Parkinson's disease hit. Although a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting movement, there are many medical treatments available to help with symptom management. While Levadopa, the standard of care treatment helped Charles with his symptoms of tremor, he was unable to tolerate it due to the extreme Restless Legs Syndrome he developed.

La Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es una afección degenerativa que afecta al cerebro, provocando la pérdida de una sustancia química del cerebro llamada dopamina y que se manifiesta como temblor en el descanso, ralentización de los movimientos (bradicinesia), agarrotamiento de las extremidades (rigidez) y una variedad de síntomas no motores. En Pacific Movements Disorders Center, proporcionamos un enfoque hecho a medida para la gestión de la EP, incluyendo el uso de los medicamentos aprobados por la FDA más novedosos y el uso de la estimulación cerebral profunda (ECP) cuando proceda. Tenemos oficinas en Santa Mónica y Torrance, CA, y prestamos servicio a todas las comunidades del oeste de Los Ángeles y del sur de California. 5215 Torrance Blvd #300, Torrance CA 90503 424-212-5361
