Tremors are a good reason to see your doctor. They’re often a sign of a a movement disorder.<\/p>\n
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most debilitating movement disorders, and the earlier that can be diagnosed or ruled out, the better. If it is Parkinson’s, timely intervention can make a significant difference in trajectory of quality of life by delaying the onset of disability or loss of function. That includes not only medication, physical therapy, and in some cases surgical intervention, but also supportive care and planning, says Dr. Bernardo Rodrigues<\/a>, director of UConn Health\u2019s Parkinson\u2019s Disease and Movement Disorders Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/span>If you\u2019re prepared for the challenges ahead of you, you will have a much better time dealing with them. You\u2019re going to have better quality of life, you\u2019re going to have a better response system, better safety systems. — Dr. Bernardo Rodrigues<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/span><\/p>\n Rodrigues was a guest on the UConn Health Pulse<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n Managing Movement Disorders Like Parkinson\u2019s<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
