Cervical dystonia (sometimes called neck dystonia) is the abnormal position of the muscles of the neck, causing a twisted, turned, flexed or extended neck position. Abnormal signals coming from the deep parts of the brain cause this condition and therefore it is not muscular in nature and will not resolve with muscle massage or stretching.

Join us in raising awareness to dystonia with Natalie Diaz, MD, board-certified neurologist with fellowship training in movement disorders at Pacific Neuroscience Institute.
