How do i find a healthcare professional who specializes in dystonia?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Look for Neurologist: Dystonia is a movement disorder with abnormal muscle contractions that lead to spasm and abnormal postures. There are many different types of dystonias and various causes for each one. A neurologist is the best place to start since it is primarily a neurological disorder which is causing the contractions. Best of luck.

Ask your MD: You will need to go through your primary doctor. He can find an appropriate specialist who can be authorized through your insurance coverage.
