Feeling tightness in your neck or noticing your head tilting to one side in Hollywood? You may be dealing with Torticollis, a condition where the neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing the head to twist or tilt and limiting normal movement. At Theracave in Hollywood, we offer personalized physical therapy to help treat Torticollis—focusing on reducing muscle tension, correcting alignment, and restoring natural neck mobility through gentle, hands-on care.
Torticollis, also known as “wry neck,” can result from muscle strain, injury, poor posture, or even develop gradually over time.

Our goal is to help you move more freely and comfortably, day by day.

Q&A
What is torticollis?
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.
What are the common causes of torticollis?
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.
What are the symptoms of 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.
How is torticollis diagnosed?
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.
What treatments are available for torticollis?
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.
Can physical therapy help with torticollis?
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.
How long does it take to recover from torticollis?
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.
Can torticollis be prevented?
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.
