The harm of spastic torticollis is far more than that. What really brings great harm to people is actually mental illness. The appearance of spastic torticollis is different from that of ordinary people, which often makes people feel inferior, makes them reluctant to communicate with the outside world, and even gets laughed at and coldly by some people. Under the influence of these negative emotions, patients with spastic torticollis are likely to have psychological states such as depression and autism, which can easily lead to aggravation of their illness, and then lead to various complications, and even suicidal thoughts.

Spastic torticollis is a difficult disease, and its treatment is never a simple matter. Western medicine believes that this disease may be related to the dysfunction of basal ganglia, thalamus and vestibular nerve. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is caused by "yin deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of wind and internal movement". Western medicine treats spasmodic torticollis by inhibiting nerve, paralyzing nerve and blocking nerve, which is basically only to relieve symptoms, treat the symptoms rather than cure the root cause. Relatively speaking, it is harmful to the body and is not recommended.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) understands the patient's condition mainly by the way of "seeing, hearing, asking and cutting". According to the viscera theory of TCM, the spleen belongs to the soil, and the main part of the body is the mouth and lips, and its splendor is in the face. Most patients with spastic torticollis have a pale complexion, greasy tongue coating and teeth marks. Combined with pulse diagnosis, the pulse condition of different patients is also different, while spastic torticollis. Spastic torticollis is a very complicated disease, and almost no one's condition is completely consistent. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it dialectically according to the patient's own situation, which is also the essence of TCM dialectics. These are exactly what some doctors do not have. As long as doctors who often treat this disease have rich clinical treatment experience, they can prescribe the right prescription and use the right medicine.
People's life is not long. Don't let the spasmodic torticollis ruin your life. Keep a good attitude and treat it hopefully, or even if there is hope of cure, you will miss it. After all, you should do something meaningful, instead of being trapped by the spasmodic torticollis and unable to move on.
