Dystonia is a common but often confusing symptom of Parkinson’s.

On Tuesday, July 14, at 11 am PT, join our Live Well Today webinar with Dr. Michele Tagliati, a leading movement disorders expert and internationally recognized pioneer in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s and dystonia.

Dr. Tagliati will explain what dystonia is, why it happens, who is more likely to experience it, and how to tell it apart from other symptoms. Dr. Tagliati will also discuss practical strategies for managing dystonia, including medication adjustments, physical therapy, and treatments such as botulinum toxin and deep brain stimulation (DBS).

We’ll reserve time for your questions. Submit them in advance using this form or email [email protected].
