Cervical Dystonia - #19972

Sayeed Ahsan

Hello, I am Sayeed Ahsan( male) from Dhaka Bangladesh. I am suffering with an involuntary neck movement called Cervical Dystonia for last 4 years. I am aged 52, height 1.67 m, weight 78 kg. My head turns to the right all time as I stay awake, there is spasm as per neurologists, so I cannot control head movement by myself and it turns rigjt on its own. Botox is an injection to temporarily stop or paralyze the hyper sensitive neck muscle for temporary use, some get relief for 10-12 weeks and thereafter it wears off. I tried Botox once but that did not work for me for a single day. Other medications I cannot take cause they created severe constipation, palpitations and breathing issues for me. I take medicine to control blood pressure and diabetics, which are under control upon medication. Kindly let me know if you have a solution/treatment or medicine for it and if I can receive medicine from you in my country. Thank you.

Age: 52
Chronic illnesses: Cervical Dystonia

I was taking blood pressure medicine Telamlo. My neurologists mentioned the Amlodipin part of the medicine caused this movement disorder due to long time usage. He suggested me to change the drug in consultation with cardiologist and that's been changed already 2.5 yrs back having no improvement. I checked with at least 4 neurologists ( 3 in Dhaka, 1 in Bangkok, Bamrungrad hospital in 2022) before. Everyone diagnosed me Dystonia patient without a MRI being suggested. So I didn't do MRI.

Dr. Shivam Mishra
As a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with over 3 years of clinical experience, I focus on treating chronic and complex health conditions through a classical yet patient-centered approach. My core areas of practice include the Ayurvedic management of cancer support care, infertility, digestive disorders, liver cirrhosis, and chronic pain. I emphasize treating the root cause of disease rather than just the symptoms, ensuring each treatment is tailored to the patient's constitution (Prakriti), lifestyle, and overall health goals. I rely on the deep principles of Ayurveda, including herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, Rasayana chikitsa (rejuvenation), dietary recommendations, and mind-body alignment to promote healing that is both natural and sustainable. My goal is not just to alleviate symptoms but to enhance overall quality of life, especially in chronic conditions where long-term management and patient confidence are essential. My passion for clinical research in Ayurveda drives me to explore new and innovative ways to improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. I continuously study classical texts and modern clinical findings to refine my treatment protocols. This research-oriented mindset enables me to bridge traditional knowledge with current health challenges, aiming to offer evidence-based holistic care that remains true to Ayurvedic wisdom. I firmly believe that every patient’s journey is unique. I work closely with each individual, offering compassionate guidance and a structured healing process that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Whether someone is navigating long-term health challenges or seeking preventive care through Ayurveda, I strive to empower them with knowledge, natural therapies, and continuous support throughout their healing journey.

Hello sayeed , Your condition can be cured with ayurveda.. According to ayurveda Cervical Dystonia it can be correlated with "Greevastambha" (ग्रीवास्तम्भ) or "Manya Stambha" (मन्यास्तम्भ), which are conditions described under Vata Vyadhi.... Cervical dystonia is primarily a Vataja disorder caused due to: 1. Dhatukshaya (Tissue Degeneration). 2. Avarana (Obstruction of Vata) 3. Excessive stress, irregular lifestyle, or trauma disturbing Vata Dosha. 4. Overuse or Strain.. We can treat this condition with medications like punarnava guggul , dashmool etc just tell me more about this...and share your reports......

Hello Sayeed, Could you share more about your lifestyle, diet, and stress levels? Also, do you experience any other symptoms like muscle stiffness, pain, or difficulty with other movements? Investigations such as imaging or blood tests are useful in assessing the severity and root cause of the spasms.
