Parkinson’s Disease: Expert Evaluation and Care to Improve Mobility, Function, and Quality of Life

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common yet serious condition in which narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and muscle control. While symptoms often begin subtly, they can gradually interfere with daily activities, independence, and overall well-being. With early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ongoing support, many patients can significantly improve function, reduce symptoms, and maintain an active, fulfilling life.

At Premium Healthcare, we provide comprehensive evaluation and management of Parkinson’s disease in Miami and South Florida. Our experienced providers take the time to understand each patient’s symptoms, identify contributing factors, and develop individualized care plans that support long-term neurological and physical health.

What Is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease occurs when nerve cells in the brain gradually lose their ability to produce dopamine — a chemical that helps regulate movement. As dopamine levels decline, the brain’s communication pathways become disrupted, leading to slowed movement, stiffness, tremors, and changes in coordination.

Common causes include genetic factors, environmental exposures, aging, and other neurological influences. Although the condition is chronic and progressive, many treatments can significantly slow progression and improve daily function.

Our goal at Premium Healthcare is to identify the stage and characteristics of each patient’s condition — not just treat symptoms — to provide targeted, effective, and long-term support.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Common signs include:

  • Tremors, especially in the hands or fingers
  • Muscle stiffness or rigidity
  • Slowed movement or difficulty initiating motion
  • Balance problems or unsteady walking
  • Soft or slurred speech
  • Reduced facial expression
  • Difficulty with fine motor tasks such as writing
  • Fatigue, sleep disturbances, or mood changes

When symptoms begin to interfere with daily activities, early evaluation is essential for effective long-term management.

Risk Factors

Several factors can increase the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s disease:

  • Age over 60
  • Family history of Parkinson’s or related disorders
  • Long-term exposure to environmental toxins
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Certain genetic mutations
  • Chronic inflammation or oxidative stress
  • Male gender, which carries a slightly higher risk

At Premium Healthcare, we take a whole-person approach, evaluating neurological, lifestyle, metabolic, and environmental factors that may contribute to Parkinson’s.

How Parkinson’s Disease Is Diagnosed

Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease requires a thorough and personalized evaluation. During your visit, our team will:

  • Review your medical history and description of symptoms
  • Conduct a detailed neurological examination
  • Evaluate mobility, reflexes, coordination, and muscle tone
  • Order blood tests to rule out metabolic or hormonal conditions
  • Recommend imaging tests such as MRI when needed
  • Use standardized movement assessments to determine severity
  • Refer to neurologists or movement disorder specialists as appropriate

A complete evaluation allows us to design a treatment plan that addresses your unique symptoms, lifestyle needs, and long-term health goals.

Treatment Options for Parkinson’s Disease

Once a diagnosis is established, our providers create a personalized care plan focused on improving movement, comfort, and daily function. Treatment may include:

Medication Management

  • Dopamine-enhancing medications to improve movement and reduce tremors
     • Adjustments to prevent side effects and ensure long-term effectiveness
     • Review of medications that may worsen symptoms

Physical and Occupational Therapy

  • Exercises to improve mobility, flexibility, and balance
  • Training to support safer walking and reduce fall risk
  • Strategies to maintain independence with daily tasks

Speech and Swallowing Support

  • Therapy to strengthen voice projection and clarity
  • Guidance for managing swallowing difficulties

Lifestyle and Nutritional Support

  • Recommendations for balanced meals that support brain health
  • Guidance on maintaining regular physical activity
  • Stress and sleep management strategies

Management of Non-Motor Symptoms

  • Treatment for mood changes, sleep issues, or autonomic symptoms
  • Coordination of care for related conditions such as depression or fatigue

Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up

  • Regular assessments to track progression and adjust treatment
  • Long-term planning to optimize quality of life and daily function
