Nervous Tics
What it is
A nervous tic is an involuntary, repeated contraction of one or more
muscles. Nervous tics often develop in childhood and affect more boys
than girls. Tics are often linked with stress, but the cause often
remains unknown. Usually, the facial muscles are affected –
classically around the eye – to produce repetitive blinking
or mouth twitching, but nervous tics can also affect other parts of
the body to cause uncontrolled movements of the limbs, shrugging of
the shoulders, jerking of the neck, or vocalisations such as grunts.
Self help measures:
Counselling and stress reducing techniques may help.
Applying magnetic patches
Apply a magnetic patch over the affected muscle. Magnetic patches
can also be applied to acupuncture points over or near the affected
site, as shown in the following illustrations. Select the points which
most closely relate to the area involved.
