About
Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative condition that affects the Central Nervous System over time, ultimately leading to impaired motor function, which is evident in speech and mobility. While the exact causes of Parkinson’s disease are not always well understood, research has indicated that a decrease in the neurotransmitter dopamine contributes to the death of specific cells located in the substantia nigra region of the brain.
As Parkinson’s disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of several body functions, slowing down this breakdown is key to managing the condition.

Key Points About Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a slowly degenerative disease that affects mobility, speech, and general body motor function. This condition worsens gradually over time, making the patient look worse.

Specific causes aren’t known, but secondary predisposal factors are well known. Factors like genetics, toxic metal poisoning, impaired liver function, and age can predispose a person to Parkinson’s disease.

Treatment with drugs has been the notable course of action; however, these come with unpleasant side effects. While some drugs can impede motor function even further if not taken enough, others can cause excessive unwanted mobility when overdosed on. Finding a sweet spot that does the job without issues is the biggest challenge in using medication for Parkinson’s disease.

Surgical procedures are effective but only for about 10% of patients and unfortunately, come with serious risks.

Deep TMS Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

At Southwest Brain Waves, we treat Parkinson’s disease using Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to stimulate the brain to improve the neural pathways that control motor function. Our treatment procedure is safe, effective, and non-invasive, making it an ideal solution for patients who undergo it.
Our approach has given patients a new lease on life, considering the remarkable recovery observed after their full treatment session. There are little to no side effects, it’s well-tolerated, and no hospitalization is needed.
