Condition: Dystonia

Dystonia is a disorder that causes your body to contract out of your control. It often looks like twisting or repetitive movement.

Dystonia can affect just one area of your body, parts that are connected or it can affect your entire body.

The muscle spams range from mild to severe. They may be painful or interfere with your daily routine.

Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for Dystonia, but there are medications that can help reduce the symptoms.
