Personalized Dystonia Treatment at Dignity Health Central Coast

Your doctor will consider the part of your body affected and create a personalized dystonia treatment plan that fits your needs. 

Neurologists at Dignity Health Central Coast provide these dystonia treatments: 

  • Medications taken by mouth are used to slow down chemicals in your brain to reduce spasms and relieve pain.
  • Botulinum toxin is medication injected into the muscles that are experiencing spasms, such as a twitching eyelid, to temporarily prevent contractions.
  • Nerve surgery is for severe cases that involve uncontrolled twisting or jerking motions and involves cutting the nerve that is causing your condition.
  • Deep brain stimulation is used when medication does not relieve your symptoms. The surgeon places a device into your brain to disrupt excessive nerve signaling.
  • Supportive services, include physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy can help with coordination and vocalization.

Your doctor will work closely with you to select the most effective treatment that will address your physical, mental, and spiritual needs. We’ll explain all your options, as well as the risks and benefits, to help you make the right decision.
