So what can you do about dartitis if you have it?
Well that probably depends on what is really wrong with you.
You should go and seek a medical opinion! Too much about dartitis is ‘what the bloke in the pub said’ and doubtfull ’self diagnosis’, nothing on this site is intended to provide any basis for diagnosis of dartitis or any other condition. Do not think ‘hey that’s just what I’ve got!’, Go and see a Doctor!
So assuming for the moment that you have the dystopic form of dartits, what can you do about it?
I am sorry to say that the sort answer to that question is ‘Not a lot!’.
Something of a disappointing answer I’m sure, however there isn’t a great deal that can be done about dystonia. Some people with a focus dystonia go into remission some time in the first 5 years of the onset of their dystonia. Unfortunatley this only amounts to about 5% of people.
In a nutshell the outlook is discouraging!
That was certainly my reaction. While it’s true that some treatments can reduce the effect of a dystonia, none of them pretend to be able to cure them, in extreme cases toxins are injected into certain muscles to weaken them. Some cases respond to Physical Therapy. None of the available treatments is a cure, it is just what it says a treatment. The effects of the dystonia can be reduced, not removed. In a sport like darts where the margin for error is so small this is obviously a disaster for any player.
Well that’s the treatment section out of the way. Still nill desperandum! With a focus dystonia there are things that as a darts player you can try that may not apply to other activities.
