Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease. Acupuncture for Parkinson's disease can improve symptoms, delay the progression of the disease, reduce the dosage of Parkinson's disease medications, alleviate the side effects of medications, and improve physical fitness and resistance to the disease.

Symptoms

  • Tremor in one hand, resting tremor

  • Spasms in individual limbs

  • Slowing of movement, stiffness

  • Neuropsychiatric problems e.g. depression, anxiety

Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can increase dopamine levels in the brain, eliminate neurological damaging factors and attenuate the amplitude and frequency of tremor muscle potentials, thereby alleviating the condition of Parkinson's patients to some extent and improving the quality of life. Acupuncture of the points on the head plays an important role in the treatment of this neurological disease.
