Cervical Dystonia
The National Spasmodic Torticollis Association is a non profit organization dedicated to providing information and support on Spasmodic Torticollis (more commonly referred to as cervical dystonia). Helping patients is our top priority: most of our work involves providing information, answering questions, helping with insurance and Medicare payment problems, and providing hope and moral support. We also work to educate the public and the medical community about Spasmodic Torticollis, advocate for patients’ rights, and support research aimed at understanding, treating, and ultimately curing this painful and debilitating neurological disorder.
