Mary Pelechic

Life seemed fine for a smiling Mary Pelechic of Williamsburg, VA back in 1996. That was before she contracted a form of ST called anterocollis in which the chin is forced down, touching the chest. This is the most difficult form of ST to treat, if it can be treated at all. So far, Mary has not found relief.

Botox injections have done a world of good for Eileen Cahill of Concord, California. You can see the dramatic difference in this sequence of ../media/photo/ba, two that were taken before her injections began and two taken since she's received Botox. What a difference! Her beautiful smile says it all!

Monica Archer

The physical and emotional impact of Spasmodic Torticollis (ST) can be absolutely devastating. Monica Archer (below) of Spring Lake, Michigan was victimized by painful neck pulling and bulging neck muscles. The impact of this neurological disorder is very evident-as is her smile after her first Botox treatment brought relief.
