I have often noticed that the tics are worse in a "problem area". i.e. my son had mostly neck tics and when we found out his atlas bone was displaced, and had a chiroprator put it back, his neck tics subsided. Same thing with the eye tics. I used and herbal eye rinse and it helped diminish the eye tics. I also use Traumeel on his upper back shoulder area to help his muscles when sore. The same Chiropractor recommended it.
