When Parkinson’s Hurts: Treatments for Managing Pain (Webinar Audio)

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast

Many people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience pain as a non-motor symptom. Pain can arise from stiff muscles, dystonia, nerve pain and even the disease progression itself. It’s a symptom that some find difficult to talk about, but there are options for people to find relief. In audio from this Third Thursdays webinar, listen to our expert panel of people living with PD, movement disorder specialists, and an integrative pain specialist discuss pain and Parkinson’s – why it happens, treatments to reduce it, and practical tips you can start incorporating today.
