Parkinson’s disease is often thought of as a condition that affects only older adults, but it can also appear in younger people, sometimes even in their 30s or 40s.
Dr. Kiran Waqar, Associate Staff Physician in Neurology, explains that early signs are not always typical tremors. It can start with stiffness, slowness, or even abnormal muscle contractions that are often missed.
With early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to care, including medication, lifestyle support, and advanced therapies, patients can stay active, independent, and productive for longer. Early recognition makes all the difference.
