Torticollis: If you are considering surgery, i would assume that you are not responding or have had adverse reactions to the use of Botox injections. Surgical treatment is dictated by clearly defining the hyperactive neck muscles that are spasming. Selective denervation of the muscles requires meticulous dissection and avulsion of the motor nerves for the specific muscles.
