People with Parkinson’s disease will usually require a team of healthcare professionals to help them manage the condition.
A neurologist, a doctor specializing in conditions of the brain and nervous system, will be one of the main people involved in treating Parkinson’s.
Other healthcare professionals who may help treat Parkinson’s can include:
• a person’s regular doctor
• a physical therapist
• a speech or occupational therapist
• mental health professional
• other specialists, such as a gastroenterologist, if people experience other symptoms of Parkinson’s such as digestive issues
