Q&A

Torticollis, also known as “wry neck,” is a condition where the neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing the head to twist or tilt to one side.

Torticollis can be caused by muscle injuries, congenital issues (present at birth), infections, or certain medications. It can also occur without a known cause, known as idiopathic torticollis.

Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, limited range of motion in the neck, headaches, and the head tilting to one side. In severe cases, it can cause muscle swelling and discomfort.

Diagnosis involves a physical examination, review of medical history, and may include imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to identify underlying causes.

Treatments may include physical therapy, medications to relax the muscles, stretching exercises, heat therapy, and in some cases, surgery. Botulinum toxin injections may also be used to relieve symptoms.

Yes, physical therapy can be highly effective in treating torticollis. It helps improve muscle flexibility, reduce pain, and restore normal movement through targeted exercises and techniques.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity and underlying cause. Some people may see improvement in a few weeks, while others might take several months of consistent treatment.

While not all cases can be prevented, early intervention, maintaining good posture, avoiding neck strain, and following a physical therapy regimen can help reduce the risk of developing torticollis.
