A lot of people still have little knowledge about Parkinson Disease, which is why not a lot of them are able to fully describe and define what it is exactly. They might know that one particular actor, Michael J. Fox, has that disease, but that might be the extent of what they know. Fortunately for you, you don’t have to be on the same boat as those people.

I guess he already went to a neurologist, if not, do that first.
Aside from the treatment and medication the doctors describe, your father might want to consider stem cell treatment as his parkinson’s treatment.

they do stem cell treatments for Parkinson’s very successfully. Of course its not a cure, but the symptoms are drastically reduced and general condition improves as well. http://www.stemcellspuhua.com/ss16.html
