National Spasmodic Torticollis Association

The National Spasmodic Torticollis Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting spasmodic torticollis patients in any way they can. Spasmodic torticollis is a neurological disorder that affects the muscles of the neck, causing the head to turn or pull toward the shoulder. The National Spasmodic Torticollis Association’s main purpose is providing an extensive support network to affected individuals. The association is also committed to helping affected individuals locate physicians with knowledge of spasmodic torticollis; engaging in patient advocacy; and supporting and promoting research into effective treatments. The association also conducts an annual symposium and offers a variety of educational materials including a quarterly newsletter, brochures, pamphlets, and videos.
