Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The neurologist is the specialist who studies dystonia, a movement disorder in which involuntary, sustained muscle contractions cause abnormal postures or repetitive movements in different parts of the body.
Common symptoms: twisting or forced postures, tremor in some areas, and involuntary movements that can affect the neck, eyelids, hands, or other regions.
Common causes: it may be of hereditary origin, be associated with other neurological conditions, or have no identifiable cause.
Which specialist treats it? Along with the neurologist, physical therapy helps work on posture, mobility, and muscle control as part of the care. If you notice movements or postures that you cannot control, it is advisable to bring it up with these professionals for a careful evaluation.
