Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that may cause tremor, stiffness, slowness of movement, changes in walking, reduced balance and difficulty with speech or swallowing. Movement disorders also include essential tremor, dystonia, tics, chorea, ataxia and other involuntary movements. At Apollo Adlux Hospital, patients receive a detailed neurological assessment to identify the type and cause of the movement disorder. Treatment is personalised according to the patient’s symptoms, stage of illness, response to medicines and impact on daily activities.

Treatment options may include medication adjustment, neurological physiotherapy, balance training, speech and swallowing therapy and botulinum toxin injections for selected cases of dystonia, spasticity and abnormal muscle contractions. Patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, disabling tremor or certain movement disorders may be evaluated for deep brain stimulation in collaboration with functional neurosurgery specialists. Long-term follow-up focuses on improving mobility, reducing symptoms, maintaining independence and supporting patients and families throughout the course of the condition.
