Dystonia is a complex and unpredictable condition of the movement regions of the brain; identified by a set of connected muscular symptoms, especially uncontrollable muscle contractions. These contractions may appear as sudden brief spasms, prolonged contortions, repetitive twisting, or recurring movements that are often painful and disabling. Dystonia can affect a muscle, muscle group or the entire body. There is no cure for most forms. Rather, Physicians that specialize in Movement Disorder Neurology specify medicines, surgery, physical therapy and alternative treatments to reduce or eliminate muscle contractions and pain. Dystonia affects men, women and children of all ages and backgrounds.
