Signs of Parkinson's Disease — What to Look For
Resting Tremor — Pill-Rolling
A characteristic tremor of the hand or finger that occurs at rest and typically improves with intentional movement. Often the first sign noticed.
Bradykinesia — Slowness of Movement
Gradually slowing of all movements — taking longer to walk, write, button clothes, or rise from a chair. Facial expression may reduce (masked face).
Muscle Rigidity
Stiffness and resistance in the limbs and neck muscles, often causing aching or discomfort. Cogwheel rigidity on examination is a hallmark finding.
Postural Instability & Falls
Impaired balance and difficulty adjusting posture, leading to falls — particularly in later stages. A shuffling, small-stepped gait is characteristic.
Non-Motor Symptoms
Depression, sleep disturbance, constipation, reduced sense of smell and cognitive changes often precede or accompany motor symptoms.

Accurate Diagnosis — Clinical Examination
Parkinson's disease is diagnosed clinically — no single test can confirm it. Dr. Anand performs a thorough motor examination using UK PDS Brain Bank criteria to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Levodopa & Dopamine Agonist Therapy
Initiation and optimisation of Levodopa, dopamine agonists (pramipexole, ropinirole) and MAO-B inhibitors — the cornerstone of Parkinson's pharmacotherapy.
Motor Fluctuation Management
As the disease progresses, 'wearing off' and 'on-off' fluctuations emerge. Dr. Anand adjusts medication schedules and adds adjunctive agents to smooth motor control.
Physiotherapy & Exercise Referral
Regular aerobic exercise, physiotherapy and balance training have been shown to meaningfully slow disability progression in Parkinson's disease.
Non-Motor Symptom Management
Dedicated management of depression, sleep disorders, constipation and autonomic symptoms — significantly improving daily quality of life.
