    Center for Torticollis

    Ajou University Hospital established the Torticollis Center for the first time in Korea in December 2007 for the causative diagnosis of torticollis and to lead this field of treatment.

Torticollis is an illness that can be accurately diagnosed in the early stage according to the cause and can be completely treated or significantly improved but can cause severe disability and hindrance to everyday life if accurate diagnosis is not performed, so professional and systematic early diagnosis and treatment are most important.

Ajou University Hospital established the Torticollis Center for the first time in Korea in December 2007 for the causative diagnosis of torticollis and to lead this field of treatment. The Torticollis Clinic has developed into the best center in Korea based on clinical experience and research on many domestic and international patients who have visited the center, and has expanded to the Center for Torticollis in 2010.

The Center for Torticollis, which is composed of experts from each field, operates various clinics depending on the cause of torticollis to provide the best medical services for the diagnosis and treatment of torticollis. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are provided rather than quantitative results to enhance the quality of life of patients suffering from torticollis, and we will do our best by conducting related research and training.
