Torticollis

Torticollis, also known as wry neck, is a condition characterized by a twisted or tilted neck. It is caused by involuntary contractions of the neck muscles, which can result in a sudden or gradual onset of pain and stiffness in the neck. This can cause the head to be tilted to one side or twisted in one direction.

​The symptoms of torticollis can range from mild to severe, and may include neck pain, muscle spasms, difficulty moving the head, and headaches. Treatment for torticollis typically includes physical therapy, stretching exercises, and sometimes medications to relieve pain and muscle spasms. In some cases, surgery may be needed to correct the underlying cause of the condition.
​

Here are some ways chiropractic care can help with torticollis:
​

1. 1. Spinal adjustments: Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to realign the spine and improve nerve function. This can help reduce muscle tension in the neck and relieve pain associated with torticollis.
2. 2. Soft tissue therapy: Chiropractors may use soft tissue therapy, such as massage or stretching, to relieve tension in the muscles and improve range of motion in the neck.
3. Lifestyle advice: Chiropractors can offer advice on lifestyle changes that may help reduce the frequency and severity of torticollis, such as stress management, exercise, and nutrition.
4. 3 .Trigger point therapy: Chiropractors may use trigger point therapy to target specific trigger points in the muscles that may be contributing to torticollis.
