How Selective Neck Muscle Release is performed
After confirming that the torticollis is mainly muscular or soft tissue-related, the affected muscle groups are usually assessed by physical examination and imaging, and ultrasound/electromyography is used for localization if necessary. Under general anesthesia, targeted release or lengthening is performed on the tense muscle groups to adjust the muscle strength balance of the neck; fascia and fiber bundles can be treated in combination as appropriate, and important structures are protected under monitoring. Postoperative monitoring includes incision and pain, and individualized rehabilitation is started as early as possible to restore symmetrical posture and movement. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
