Dystonia

Dystonia is involuntary muscle contractions which force certain parts of the body into abnormal and sometimes painful movements or postures. These can affect the neck (cervical dystonia or torticollis), the eyes (blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm) or the limbs (limb dystonia). Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute offers medications and botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to reduce the severity of the dystonic spasm.
