Amazing DBS Before & After | 225-769-2200 | Baton Rouge Parkinson's Specialists

I can't even imagine the exhaustion these people must face with this disease, I hope this gives everyone relief and comfort.

My wife had these stimulator placed in her brain and we both cried the first time they were turned on. It made her life livable again. They truly were a gift of a better life for her.

When I was a young man there was a neighbor who was a retired state trooper. One day I was riding my bicycle and he was checking his mail and I finally asked him. “Why do you shake so much mister?” He said it was because of Parkinson’s. He had a 1956 Chevy BelAire with a 383 stroker in it and it was parked in his garage. I complemented him on his car and he asked if I wanted to go for a ride. So I said yes and he shook just like this all the way until we pulled out of the drive and he slammed the hammer down and shifted like a nascar driver. Fastest car I had ever ridden in (at the time) we pulled back into his garage and as soon as the ignition switch shut off he went back to shaking. To say that car was his medicine is an understatement. It was his escape and he was so happy to share that moment with someone who cared enough to ask about him.

My dad is 70 with Parkinsons n he had deep brain stimulation surgery. It changed his life so much forthebetter, completely stopped his shaking. Thank you medtronic ❤

I’ve worked for Medtronic for 25 years and videos like these and knowing that my work helps save lives is priceless

Apart from the exhausting tremors, Parkinsons wipes out facial expressions, too. To see the tremors stop and him able to smile is just amazing.

My brother was a healthy clean living adventurer and developed Parkinson's. He had one of the first brain stimulators implants and it added life to his years and years to his life. This lovely man reminds me of him and his nature and spirit.. ❤

I've never felt so happy for a person I've never met. The look of relief and joy on his face literally made my day.

That little grin is what pure joy looks like.

My husband suffered from Parkinson’s. He was so tired all the time from constant movement ( and the disease). He had a DBS placed and was comfortable and moved pretty normally for years until he declined and sadly passed last year. He said it completely changed his life and I’m so grateful for the surgery.

The relief and joy in his face makes all the work behind this technology worth it!

This is what I'm here for. You can't find content like this on Tilt ok or Reels, at least not as easily. I love seeing people recover and finally get some meaning back into their lives. Love this!

That man’s quality of life just skyrocketed in about 2 seconds, very cool.

My hat off to the people that researched, designed, and actually built a miracle device to help people inflicted with Parkinson. WoW that's a 1st for me, over 4,300 up votes. After seeing the amazing way the gentleman's body became normal after he was receiving the stimulus I wish I would have devoted my time studying medical electronics instead of devoting my life working in Electronics on Radar systems. I'm happy for the gentleman and all of the people that this miracle device can help live normal lives.

My Papa was one of the first test cases for DBS. My other grandpa was a vet for the test cases of DBS on orangutans. So grateful for this treatment and my family's history with this advancement in the medical field.

The JOY in his smile after he realizss he is not shaking is EVERYTHING

I used to work in ICU at a hospital where they did a lot of DBS procedures. Watching the patients and their families learn how to use the app was one of the most rewarding things ever

My Father had this surgery about 14 years ago. Whilst it doesn’t stop the progression of the disease, it gives you an amazing quality of life. Hats off to the surgeons and medical professionals who make this possible. Dad is still going strong thanks to this intervention 😊.

Oh man....this made me cry. My dad developed brain cancer in his 81st year. He went into cycles of mini-seizures for weeks, until a kind doc got them under control. It was the hardest thing I've ever watched. RIP Dad.

Wow.. the subtle smile that grew on his face as the peace and calm of relief came over him. Such a beautiful moment in modern medicine!
