What is cervical dystonia or CD?
CD is a condition that affects muscles in the neck. If you have CD, those muscles may tighten or spasm without your control. This can force your head and neck into movements or positions that are painful and awkward. If you think your symptoms may be caused by CD, talk to your doctor. Create a customized symptom checklist to print and discuss at your next doctor visit. Also, learn more in the Signs of Cervical Dystonia section.
