Ultrasound Treatment Shows Promising Results Against Alzheimer’s
Roughly 6 million people live with Alzheimer’s in America alone. This neurodegenerative disease can have a severe impact on the individual living with it as well as loved ones. Because of the disease’s prevalence and potential to cause mental health damage, researchers are constantly looking for ways to combat it. Most recently, a study has found success using ultrasound energy to combat Alzheimer’s once and for all.
Alzheimer's stages: How the disease progresses
Alzheimer's disease tends to develop slowly and gradually worsens over several years. Eventually, Alzheimer's disease affects most areas of your brain. Memory, thinking, judgment, language, problem-solving, personality and movement can all be affected by the disease.

An accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia is an important first step to ensure you have appropriate treatment, care, family education and plans for the future.
