Dystonia Treatment Services
Comprehensive Care for Dystonia Patients
Advanced Diagnostic Techniques
Our state-of-the-art facility employs cutting-edge diagnostic tools to accurately identify and assess dystonia. Our team of specialists uses advanced imaging technologies, including MRI and PET scans, to pinpoint the affected areas of the brain and muscles. Electromyography (EMG) tests help us understand the electrical activity in your muscles, allowing for precise diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
Personalized Medication Management
We offer a wide range of pharmaceutical options to manage dystonia symptoms effectively. Our experienced neurologists work closely with you to find the perfect balance of medications, including anticholinergics, muscle relaxants, and botulinum toxin injections. We continuously monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan to ensure optimal results and minimal side effects.
Innovative Surgical Interventions
For patients who don’t respond well to medication, we provide advanced surgical options. Our skilled neurosurgeons specialize in deep brain stimulation (DBS), a revolutionary procedure that can significantly reduce dystonia symptoms. We also offer selective denervation surgery for focal dystonia cases. Our team uses state-of-the-art technology and minimally invasive techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes with reduced recovery times.
Holistic Approach to Dystonia Management
Comprehensive Physical Therapy Programs
Our dedicated physical therapists design customized exercise regimens to improve muscle control, flexibility, and posture. We employ a variety of techniques, including stretching exercises, strength training, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) to help you regain control over your movements and reduce pain associated with dystonia.
Integrative Mind-Body Techniques
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our integrative approach incorporates mindfulness techniques, biofeedback, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you manage stress and anxiety often associated with dystonia. These complementary therapies can significantly improve your overall quality of life and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.

Our team stays at the forefront of technological advancements in dystonia management. We offer a range of assistive devices and adaptive equipment designed to improve daily functioning and independence. From specialized writing tools to voice-activated home automation systems, we help you find the right technologies to overcome the challenges posed by dystonia.
