Hi phoenixsong87,

She had PT for 6 weeks. They also used a tens unit on her and did massage therapy, she felt the massage therapy was the most beneficial. Like you her torticollis is better but she still has problems...at times.

phoenixsong87, I don't know how bad your torticollis is but I watched (helplessly) as my daughter experienced non-stop spasms that were painful and kept her from sleeping. If this sounds like what you are dealing with try the muscle relaxant --- sometimes the muscle relaxant was the only thing that relieved her spasms, pain and let her sleep.

This happened about a year and a half ago, my daughter is almost 19 now.

I hope you find some relief
