Imagine if the symptoms of Parkinson's disease didn't hold you back from doing the things you love to do.
As PD progresses, "off" times gradually last longer. Even simple tasks become a burden. When medication no longer controls your PD symptoms as well as you would like, there's another treatment option to consider. Medtronic DBS Therapy (Deep Brain Stimulation) may help you return to the activities you enjoy.

When to Consider DBS Therapy
Dr. Kenneth Martinez
Neurologist, Los Angeles, California
"DBS Therapy should be offered when people begin to have significant dyskinesias, motor fluctuations, significant on off periods or they may be having significant side effects from the medication."
