My brother aged 58 has neck and right hand torticollis. It started with neck now his hand is twisted up to his head. He has it for 5 years. Lots of pain and discomfort to him. He has been to many neurophysicians and has regualr physiotherapy but to no avail. Is he a candidate for surgery and by whom? He lives in Islamabad Pakistan. Any recomendations would be greatly appriciated.

My daughter [13 years] has congenital torticollis. We did some physiotherapy at young age but due to poor insurance and our negligence did not do much. Now she has a bit of facial assymmetry (not noticable) and tilted head (noticable). She has full range of motion and can keep her neck straight if she is concious. Is there anything we can do for her now ? Will Physio/Chiropractic help at this age ?
