Parkinson’s Disease Management Clinic in Bangalore

Parkinson’s disease affects the brain cells responsible for movement and coordination. Over time, it leads to tremors, stiffness, slow movement, imbalance and difficulty performing everyday tasks like writing, walking or speaking. At Sakra Hospital, the priority is to help patients control symptoms early, maintain independence for as long as possible and improve their quality of life through dedicated neurological care, advanced technology and long-term support.

What Makes Parkinson’s Care at Sakra Unique

Parkinson’s requires specialised medical attention and continuous monitoring. Sakra follows a multidisciplinary approach where neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and rehabilitation experts work together. This combined expertise helps patients receive comprehensive care, starting from diagnosis to long-term management.

The department is equipped with:

• High-resolution neuro-imaging , MRI and Neuromonitoring systems  to detect disease progression and structural changes in the brain

• DBS-Deep Brain Stimulation

• Detailed Neuropsychology Assessment

• Advanced operating facilities for minimally invasive Parkinson’s surgery, including Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

• Long-term neuro-rehabilitation setup offering consistent physiotherapy, speech therapy and cognitive training

This integrated system ensures patients receive medical treatment, functional support and rehabilitation under one coordinated care plan.

Conditions Treated

Sakra provides expert care for a wide range of movement disorders linked to Parkinson’s and related neurological conditions:

• Parkinson’s Disease: A progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, coordination and balance. It commonly presents with tremors, slow movement and stiffness, gradually affecting daily activities and independence.
• Parkinsonism and Atypical Parkinsonian Conditions: These include disorders that share symptoms with Parkinson’s but progress differently or do not respond well to standard medications. Proper evaluation is essential to differentiate them and provide the right treatment strategy.
• Essential Tremors: A condition characterised by involuntary shaking, especially in the hands during movement. Although not life-threatening, it can interfere with writing, eating, dressing and other daily tasks.
• Age-Related and Neurological Movement Disorders: These conditions usually stem from changes in the brain due to aging, strokes, reduced dopamine production or other neurological illnesses. Symptoms may vary from mild instability to severe mobility issues.

Symptoms Managed

Patients often seek care for symptoms that affect movement, coordination and daily life. Common symptoms include:

• Tremors in hands, arms, legs or jaw

• Difficulty starting or controlling movement

• Muscle stiffness and rigidity

• Slowness while walking or challenges in turning or standing

• Balance problems and frequent falls

• Stooped or unstable posture

• Soft or unclear speech and reduced facial expressions

• Swallowing difficulty and risk of choking

• Disturbed sleep and restlessness at night

• Fatigue and daytime drowsiness

• Mood changes, including anxiety, irritability or depression

• Memory decline and difficulty concentrating

Treatments and Services Available

Treatment plans are created after understanding medical history, symptom severity, lifestyle needs and response to medications. Services include:

• Medication Management: Medicines are used to improve motor control and reduce tremors, rigidity and slowness. Dosages are adjusted based on the patient’s daily routine and symptom fluctuations to ensure maximum relief.
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): A minimally invasive surgical procedure is recommended in advanced Parkinson’s when medicines stop providing sufficient benefit. Sakra performs DBS using high-precision navigation and neuromonitoring to improve accuracy, minimise risk and ensure better symptom control.
• Botulinum Injection Therapy: Targets painful muscle contractions, spasms, dystonia and crippling rigidity that interfere with movement and cause discomfort.
• Rehabilitation for Parkinson’s: A key component of treatment at Sakra. It focuses on maintaining physical ability, speech, cognitive health and emotional well-being.

  • Physiotherapy improves posture, balance, strength and gait

  • Occupational therapy supports meaningful daily activities like handling tools, buttoning clothes, writing and using cutlery

  • Speech and swallowing therapy improves voice strength, clarity and safe swallowing

  • Cognitive and behavioural therapy helps patients manage memory worries, mood changes and social confidence

• Gait and Fall-Prevention Program: Supports safe walking using balance training, muscle conditioning, gait correction and adaptive functional techniques to prevent falls.
• Counselling and Family Support: Families are educated about symptom progression, home safety adaptations and caregiving techniques. Emotional support and guidance help reduce stress and improve long-term patient comfort.
