Comprehensive Treatment Options

Treatment for dystonia varies depending on the severity, type, and location of the condition. Dr. Goyal provides a multidisciplinary approach, combining various methods to ensure optimal outcomes for his patients.

• Botulinum Toxin Injections (Botox): One of the most common treatments for dystonia involves the use of botulinum toxin, which helps to reduce muscle spasms and abnormal contractions by targeting the muscles causing the issue.
• Medications: Dr. Goyal may prescribe medications to help manage symptoms and improve muscle control. These can include muscle relaxants, dopamine agonists, or other medications designed to target the underlying neurological causes of dystonia.
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): In cases where more conservative treatments are ineffective, Dr. Goyal may recommend deep brain stimulation, a surgical procedure where electrodes are implanted in specific areas of the brain to help regulate abnormal neural activity associated with dystonia.
• Physical and Occupational Therapy: Dr. Goyal also collaborates with skilled therapists to provide rehabilitation services aimed at improving mobility, coordination, and the overall functional ability of patients.
• Psychosocial Support: Recognizing the mental and emotional toll that dystonia can take on individuals, Dr. Goyal offers guidance and support to help patients manage the psychological aspects of living with the condition.
