Suggest Management For Spasmodic Torticollis
I was wondering if there have been any breakthroughs on treating spasmodic torticollis. The botox injections are only a temporary mask to a disabling condition. I just spent more than 5 minutes typing out a description which has not shown up here. I need a neurologist/specialist in brain/movement disorders.

kindly meet a physical therapist. sit down and learn the mechanism involved in torticollis. your physical therapist will be able to help you get rid of the situation. as you have Google all things by now, torticollis occurs due to weakness of the other side of the muscle present. kindly slowly strengthen the other side muscles and relax the spasmodic muscles. your physical therapist will be of help to you. be slow be steady as certain times slow going helps for longer time
