    Parkinson's Disease: More Than Just Tremors
    The conversation begins by shedding light on Parkinson's disease, a neurological condition often misunderstood as merely causing tremors. However, it's much more. We explore the key symptoms: tremor, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and postural instability. These symptoms profoundly impact patients' lives, but understanding them is the first step in effective management.
