Welcome to the Website of the 

National Spasmodic Torticollis Association

Spasmodic Torticollis also known as "Cervical Dystonia." and is referred to by many simply as "torticollis.", is a painful and debilitating neurological movement disorder.  Approximately 3 in every 10,000 people - about 90,000 people in the United States - are known to suffer from ST. Many of those people have not been diagnosed or have been misdiagnosed.

The mission of the National Spasmodic Torticollis Association is to support the needs and well being of affected individuals and families; to promote awareness and education; to advance research for more treatments and ultimately a cure.

Over the years, NSTA has helped thousands of people in their search for relief from the pain and disability caused by ST.
