We are sometimes told that our dystonia is "idiopathic", meaning no cause can be found. In truth, many of us know how the wounds we carry within, the trauma we endure, and the toxicity we are exposed to contribute to our condition.
In this video, I explore six of the main causal co-factors that contribute to dystonia: genetics, toxicity, viral infections, physical trauma and anatomical imbalances (including the TMJ), psychological trauma (and especially developmental trauma), as well as other diseases and disorders that have dystonia as a symptom (e.g. Parkinson's). I also explain the nature of dystonia as an emergent phenomenon, one that reflects our body's best ability to organize itself given the inputs it receives.
Please note that an additional factor belongs among the ones mentioned in the video: repetitive actions such as the ones that are performed when playing an instrument. Perhaps this will merit its own post!
I hope this video leaves you feeling better informed and more empowered on your recovery journey!
