- Dystonia is a movement disorder in which your muscles involuntarily contract, causing repetitive or twisted movements.
- The condition can affect one part of your body (focal dystonia), two or more adjacent parts (segmental dystonia), or all parts of your body (general dystonia). Muscle spasms can range from mild to severe. They can be painful and interfere with your daily chores.
- There is no cure for dystonia. But medication can improve symptoms. Surgery is sometimes used to turn off or regulate nerves or specific areas of the brain in people with severe dystonia. Dystonia treatment in Nizamabad
