Question
One side of the face is crooked, there is neck pain, and there was a car accident about three years ago where the head was struck severely. These symptoms began about half a year ago.
Answer
This condition is known as spastic torticollis, but its cause is cervical spinal cord damage. Due to cervical cord dysfunction, there is insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to headaches and dizziness. These are all results of spinal cord dysfunction. Treatment must start from a neurological perspective, ensuring that the affected nerves receive adequate blood supply and nutrition. Additionally, drugs that can stimulate and activate nerve regeneration should be used to promote nerve regeneration and repair, thereby alleviating spasticity and restoring various functions. As there is insufficient understanding of the condition, further guidance is needed. Please send MRI images for guidance.
