For many people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD), pain is an uncomfortable reality. Stiff muscles, dystonia, constipation and nerve pain related to PD are common causes of pain – and up to 75 percent of people with PD report experiencing pain during the course of their disease. Pain is a difficult symptom to recognize and treat and it can fluctuate day to day, or even over the course of a day. And what works to help one person’s pain may not be the best approach for another.
In this Third Thursdays Webinar, our expert panel will discuss why Parkinson’s causes pain and ways to treat it, from standard treatments such as medication adjustments and muscle relaxants to alternative therapies like acupuncture and cannabidiol, or CBD. Tune in to learn more, including steps you can take to manage pain and reduce discomfort.
