Neurologists suspect many more people may have Parkinson’s, but they don’t know what it is. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to diagnose. There is no official test to determine if someone has it; rather, physicians conclude it is Parkinson’s when other conditions are ruled out and a patient responds to medication used to manage the disease.

Join Ashley Rawls, MD, and other experts from the Norman Fixel Institue for Neurological Disease on Zoom to learn more about the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, treatment and importance of rehabilitation.
