Parkinson's disease, which occurs when certain nerve cells in the brain are damaged and cannot produce dopamine adequately, is one of the many brain disorders treated by neurologists at LifeBridge Health.
It is estimated that three out of 100 people in the United States will have Parkinson's disease by age 70, making it the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Although the condition usually develops after age 65, approximately 15 percent of those diagnosed are under age 50.
