Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder where muscles contract involuntarily, causing twisting, repetitive movements, or unusual postures. It can affect the neck, face, arms, legs, or trunk — interfering with daily activities, work, and social life. We provide personalized care using a combination of medications, targeted injections, therapy, and rehabilitation to improve function and quality of life.
Some forms of dystonia are inherited, caused by gene changes that affect muscle control.
May result from brain injuries, stroke, infections, or exposure to certain medications that affect nerve function.
Sometimes the cause is unknown, with no identifiable reason despite detailed testing.
Involuntary muscle contractions or spasms
Twisting or repetitive movements
Abnormal postures of neck, face, arms, legs, or trunk
Tremors, cramps, or muscle stiffness
Difficulty with daily tasks, walking, or work-related movements
A detailed neurological assessment evaluates muscle tone, movement patterns, reflexes, and coordination. EMG and nerve conduction studies (NCS) help confirm the type, location, and severity of dystonia. Additional tests may identify underlying causes such as genetic or acquired conditions.
A Personalised Multi-Approach Plan — combining medications, targeted injections, therapy, and rehabilitation.
Each plan is tailored to your type of dystonia, severity, and underlying cause. We adjust treatments as you progress to ensure the best results.
Medications
Oral medicines help control muscle activity and reduce involuntary contractions.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections
Targeted injections relax overactive muscles, especially for the neck, eyes, or hands.
Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy
Exercises improve posture, movement, and coordination, making daily activities easier.
Neuromodulation & Rehabilitation
Advanced therapies and long-term rehabilitation support chronic cases and help restore function.
Together, these therapies work on your muscles, nerves, and brain — reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and helping you regain independence.
Patients experience meaningful improvement in muscle control, reduction in spasms, better posture, and more confidence in walking, work, and daily tasks. This personalized approach addresses dystonia at multiple levels — muscular, neurological, and functional — producing outcomes that no single therapy can achieve alone.
