The\nmovements and postures may be painful. Dystonic movements are typically\npatterned and repetitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can\naffect any part of the body like the eyelids, face, jaw, neck, hands, and feet.\nDepending on the part of the affected body, it looks quite different in every\nperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When do symptoms occur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any age,\nit can happen, but mainly it is happening either early or childhood, onset\nversus adult-onset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early-onset\ndystonia frequently begins with symptoms in the limbs and can progress towards\naffecting other regions. Some symptoms tend to occur after periods of exertion\nand\/or fluctuate over the course of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult\ndystonia is typically located in one or similar areas of the body, the most often\ninvolving the neck and facial muscles.&nbsp; Dystonia\nwill affect other regions of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dystonia\noften progresses through various stages. Dystonic movements can initially be\nirregular and only occur during voluntary movements or tension. Later, people\ncan show dystonic postures and movements when walking, and eventually even when\nrelaxed. Dystonia may lead to fixed postures and tendon shortening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\r\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\r\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\r\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\r\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/dystonia-symptoms-causes-risk-factors-and-prevention\/#What_Causes_Dystonia\" title=\"What Causes Dystonia?\">What Causes Dystonia?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/dystonia-symptoms-causes-risk-factors-and-prevention\/#Risk_Factors_for_Dystonia\" title=\"Risk Factors for Dystonia:\">Risk Factors for Dystonia:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/dystonia-symptoms-causes-risk-factors-and-prevention\/#Complications\" title=\"Complications\">Complications<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/dystonia-symptoms-causes-risk-factors-and-prevention\/#Prevention\" title=\"Prevention\">Prevention<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/dystonia-symptoms-causes-risk-factors-and-prevention\/#Last_wordsaE%C2%A6\" title=\"Last words\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\">Last words\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Dystonia\"><\/span>What Causes Dystonia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact\ncause of dystonia in most of the causes is not known.
