From painful spasms to posture changes, explore how this neurological disorder impacts daily life.
Cervical dystonia is not often widely understood, even in the medical community. Doctors can misdiagnose the condition as a psychological, not a physiological, disorder, which can compound the problem, as genuine mental health concerns around this disorder can worsen due to a misdiagnosis. It may be prudent to seek specialist advice if you believe you have cervical dystonia.
