What Are the Treatments for Torticollis?
Much about the preventives and treatments for torticollis, a painful and debilitating neurological movement disorder, is unknown. The National Spasmodic Torticollis Association (NSTA) states that approximately 3 in every 10,000 people suffer from torticollis. Treatments for torticollis range from exercise to surgery. Dependent upon the patient’s age and other medical conditions, the diagnosing doctor and physical therapist will develop a treatment plan. Maintaining this plan is crucial for success, as is parents’ help to younger children. An overall healthy lifestyle may aid the treatment as well.
