Spasmodic Torticollis
Spasmodic Torticollis, also known as cervical dystonia, is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions in the neck. These contractions can cause the head to twist or turn to one side, leading to discomfort and difficulty in maintaining a normal head position. The exact cause is often unknown, but it may involve genetic factors or changes in the brain.
Symptoms typically begin in adulthood and can vary in severity. Treatment options include physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, botulinum toxin injections to help relax the muscles. While there is no cure, many individuals find ways to manage their symptoms effectively.
