My father has parkinsons. can it be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but treatable!!: Dopamine meds reduce symptoms, but there is no cure. Fight the rigidity or stiffness & loss of rom of the joints to help him move better & have less imbalance! try the stretching handout "be active" from the apda. Best of luck :).
