Parkinson

 

Parkinson's disease is a progressive degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The hallmark physical signs are tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural dysfunction. Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and nigrostriatal pathway of the midbrain. These neurons normally project to the striatum, consisting of the caudate and putamen nuclei, whose neurons bear dopamine receptors. This projection of neurons is just one component of the complex network of interconnections among the deep gray-matter structures known as the basal ganglia. Neurochemical or structural pathologic conditions affecting the basal ganglia result in diseases of motor control, classified as movement disorders. Secondary parkinsonism may be caused by certain drugs or by cerebrovascular disease (e.g., multiple lacunar strokes). The disease can usually be diagnosed based on the history and physical findings.  
 

Parkinson's disease severely compromises quality of life. Patients with this illness can find it difficult to read, write and drive. With advanced disease, they often cannot manage basic activities of daily living. Thus, Parkinson's disease can result in loss of employment and, ultimately, loss of personal autonomy.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder of body movement. It is a progressive, neurological disease mainly affecting people over the age of 50, although at least 10% of cases occur at an earlier age. Early-onset Parkinson's disease, which often affects persons in their 20's, is receiving more attention because of its impact on employability. It affects people of either sex and all ethnic groups.

Because the disease is progressive, it may ultimately become debilitating. Without adequate treatment and support, people with Parkinson's may tend to become depressed and withdrawn. However, with the revolutionary GIGER MD^â Therapy, such isolation is unnecessary.
 

A variety of medications provide dramatic relief from the symptoms, but no drug can stop the progression of the disease. More and more medical doctors recommend the therapy on the GIGER MD^â Instruments to improve the higher mental  as well as the vegetative and the locomotion functions, sc. motor skills.

The therapy on the GIGER MD^â Instruments allow many patients to maintain a high level of function throughout their lifetimes. Because of the GIGER MD^â Therapy it is crucial to note that Parkinson's disease is not any longer a fatal illness.

Intensiv therapy on the revolutionary GIGER MD^â medical device helps restore lost functions in an untreated patient, and protects against secondary symptoms that could otherwise develop.
