Sometimes following injury or illness to the brain or spinal cord, muscles become stiff and tight. This increase in muscle tone is commonly referred to as spasticity. Also referred to as hypertonicity, it commonly occurs secondary to stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, spinal injury and other brain and spinal cord conditions.
Cervical dystonia is a disorder where neck muscles contract involuntarily. This may cause abnormal postures of the head and neck, neck muscle spasm, headache, migraine, neck pain, neck stiffness, thoracic outlet syndrome and sometimes may be associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Cervical dystonia may occur following injury but for most people the cause is usually unknown.

Spasticity Management
Evidence-Based Spasticity Treatment
Spasticity affects people in different ways. As muscles tighten you may find that your upper or lower limb position is affected. Prolonged muscle tightness can result in permanent muscle shortening and joint contracture. Once contractures occur treatment can be very difficult and may require surgical treatment, so it is very important to treat spasticity appropriately and early to prevent this from occurring.
Cervical dystonia
Ultrasound-guided treatment
Cervical dystonia is a painful condition where neck muscles contract involuntarily.
Botulinum toxin injections can treat abnormal neck and head posture plus relieve headache, migraine, neck pain and stiffness associated with the condition.
