Is it possible to get dystonia from multiple concussions?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: Dystonia does not usually occur as a result of concussion. It is usually genetic or from particular medications. Concussions specifically have not been shown to cause dystonia, and there is great debate whether trauma itself can cause true dystonia.

Dystonia: Dystonia is uncommon after a concussion injury, however if there has been multiple injuries then it is possible to get dystonia.
