A member asked:
Is torticollis surgery ever needed or pt always works?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surg RARELY Needed: Most patients with torticollis will respond to physical therapy. Rarely surgery is required - particularly if the torticollis is allowed to persist for an extended period of time. The surgical interventions are quite invasive and should be only used when absolutely necessary.
