I
am a 24 yr old male, It all started with a mild
pain in muscles of shoulder and neck which used
to vanish after a sleep or rest. At that point of
time i didn't take it seriously but after one night,
i woke up with my neck twisted on right side. Initially
I thought it would be a mild muscle spasm but when
it persisted for more than a week then i decided
to visit a neurologist and was diagnosed with cervical
dystonia/ Spasmodic torticollis. I was prescribed
muscle relaxants and even anti-depressants but to
no avail. I even tried homeopathy and that too in
vain .Finally I decided to take the Botox shots
and was told that it would last for three months
but that too lasted just 1.5 months and i was again
left with crooked twisted neck. Then i decided to
go for acupuncture and I could experience some relief
even at the first sitting (that was for the first
time that i thought that i could be alright again).I
continued to visit Dr.Agarwal on alternate days
and after 5-6 visits i could hold my neck straight(and
pain too became less).After around 10 sittings now
my neck is normal and tremoring is also gone. I
was extremely benefited by acupuncture and there
have been other cases where acupuncture has been
beneficial in treatment of CD/ST(http:// drxuacupuncture.com/2009/12/24/case-discussion-12-cervical-dystonia/).
