Parkinson’s & Movement Disorders

Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that affect the ability to produce and control bodily movements. Among them, Parkinson’s disease is the most common and progressive, causing tremors, stiffness, slowness, and balance problems. At our clinic, Dr. Sandeep Marasaketla, a NIMHANS-trained neurologist, specializes in the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s and a wide range of other movement disorders.

Early diagnosis is key to improving quality of life. Dr. Sandeep conducts a detailed neurological examination, carefully evaluating motor symptoms, gait patterns, rigidity, and non-motor signs like mood changes, sleep disturbances, or cognitive decline. Advanced tools such as MRI scans and dopamine transporter imaging (DaT scan) may be used when required to confirm diagnosis and rule out other conditions.

Our comprehensive care model includes personalized medication regimens, including levodopa therapy, dopamine agonists, and newer-generation drugs tailored to your stage and response. Dr. Sandeep monitors treatment closely to manage fluctuations, dyskinesias (involuntary movements), and medication side effects.

In advanced cases, we also assess eligibility for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and coordinate referrals for surgical interventions when needed. Additional therapies such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy play a crucial role in maintaining independence and mobility.

Beyond Parkinson’s, Dr. Sandeep also manages:

• Essential Tremors
• Dystonia
• Ataxia
• Tics and Tourette syndrome
• Drug-induced movement disorders
• Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

With a compassionate, multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Sandeep helps patients live fuller lives, manage symptoms effectively, and delay progression through expert care and continuous support.
