From painful spasms to posture changes, explore how this neurological disorder impacts daily life.
Most who suffer from cervical dystonia have symptoms that are mild at first. These symptoms can include subtle pulls on the head and small contractions in the neck muscles. This can lead to a prolonged period of suffering while a person chooses to not seek help.
