Many people only know that spasmodic torticollis is a disease characterized by neck skew, which is often called crooked neck. Many people think that this disease is not a serious illness, but it is not impossible to live with a crooked neck, but in fact it is only a symptom and can even ruin your future.

The harm of spasmodic torticollis;

1. Affect aesthetics, leading to psychological inferiority, depression and autism.

2. If it is serious, it will lead to difficulty in swallowing and speaking.

3. It will also lead to visual impairment, such as strabismus, decreased vision, swollen eyes, fear of light, tears, different pupil sizes, etc., and some patients will be blind.

4. Neck-heart syndrome, precordial pain, chest tightness, arrhythmia, etc.

5. Cervical hypertension with unstable blood pressure.

7. Unexpected dangers will occur due to sudden head distortion and sudden collapse.

The harm of spastic torticollis goes far beyond these. 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, unwilling to communicate with the outside world, and even ridiculed and coldly treated by some people. Under the influence of these negative emotions, patients with spastic torticollis are likely to have depression, autism and other psychological states, which will easily lead to aggravation of their illness, and then lead to various complications and even suicidal thoughts. Once this mental illness occurs, it is very difficult to treat, so no matter how serious it is, we should treat it with a normal heart to avoid suffering more.

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 nucleus, thalamus and vestibular nerve. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is caused by "yin deficiency of liver and kidney, wind deficiency and internal movement" Western medicine treats spasmodic torticollis by inhibiting, paralyzing and blocking nerves, which basically only relieves symptoms, but does not cure the symptoms. Relatively harmful to health, not recommended.

Chinese medicine mainly understands the patient's condition through "seeing, listening and asking". According to the theory of zang-fu organs in TCM, the spleen belongs to the soil, which is the main body of meat, enlightening the mouth and lips, and the beauty lies in the face. Most patients with spastic torticollis have pale face, greasy tongue coating and tooth marks. Combined with pulse diagnosis, the pulse condition of different patients is different, while the pulse condition of patients with spastic torticollis is a very complicated disease, and almost no one's condition is completely consistent. Therefore, it should be treated dialectically according to the patient's own situation, which is also the essence of TCM dialectics. These are exactly what some doctors don't have. As long as doctors who often treat this disease have rich clinical treatment experience, they can prescribe the right medicine.

People's life span is not long. Don't let spasmodic torticollis ruin your life. Keep a good attitude and treat with hope. Otherwise, even if there is hope of cure, it will be missed. After all, you should do something meaningful instead of being trapped by spastic torticollis and unable to move forward.
