What is Dystonia?

Dystonia is a movement disorder that affects the motor area of the brain.  It causes involuntary twisting and repetitive muscle contractions or spasms that may affect a muscle or a group of muscles which at times can be painful.

There is support for those with Dystonia

Individuals suffering from Dystonia may feel a sense of empowerment as they gain knowledge about their disorder.  If you would like to learn about or gain a better understanding of Dystonia you are invited to attend the local meeting held in Tacoma.

WE ARE THE  KEY TO THE CURE!

What do people with Dystonia experience?

Do you experience involuntary muscle  spasms?

Do these spasms affect your work or career?

Are you unable to perform efficiently in daily living tasks or life roles?

Are you avoiding public settings because of these spasms?

If so, you could be one of 300,000 people diagnosed in the US who suffer from Dystonia.  Dystonia is a rare illness and those with Dystonia are often misdiagnosed repeatedly before they discover they have Dystonia.
