This book describes Twisted Neck, (Torticollis), Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
A twisted neck or torticollis is a very uncomfortable disorder of the neck muscles.
My son in law seems to get his neck twisted very frequently.
Apparently it may be due to his posture since it becomes worse when he is driving his car.
His neck will feel very stiff and painful.
Torticollis is caused by the twisting or spasm of the neck muscles
When there is injury or spasm of the neck muscle or poor posture
Movements of the head and neck on one side are very painful and tight
The muscles and ligaments of the neck are strained and turned to one side
Torticollis may be caused by congenital or acquired
This muscle spasm undoubtedly cause the neck to be tightened
There are reduced and painful neck movements
For which application of ice to the muscles is prudent
Torticollis is usually a self limiting condition
The neck will heal with treatment and relaxation
Pain can be relieved by paracetamol or ibobrufen
Stiffness can be reduced by exercise and mild movement
Very soon the neck will return to normal
There is usually no other injuries internal
Headrests in the car can reduce a bad injury
Getting a twisted neck is such a misery!
-An original poem by Kenneth Kee
Twisted Neck (Torticollis) is the spasm of the sternomastoid, trapezius or other neck muscle producing pain in the neck and spasm in the neck muscle.
Twisted Neck (Torticollis) is an abnormal appearance of the head and neck, normally presenting with abnormal slope and rotation.
There may be several manifesting positions such as flexion, extension, right or left tilt.
These have terms such as horizontal torticollis, vertical, oblique or torsion.
Twisted Neck (Torticollis) is a frequent diagnosis, and estimates are that 90% of people will have at least one episode of torticollis throughout their lives.
Twisted Neck (Torticollis) may be benign (congenital torticollis) but may also be caused by dangerous disorders such as brain injury.
The most frequent cases appear to be related to dysfunctions in the local neuromuscular mechanisms (focal dystonia).
Cervical dystonia is among the most frequent focal dystonias in adults, causing a tetanus contraction of the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
Twisted Neck (Torticollis) is the frequent term for different disorders of head and neck dystonia which exhibit specific variations in head movements (phasic components) featured by the direction of movement (horizontal, as if to declare "no", or vertical, as if to declare "yes").
Such to-and-fro motions of the head can be equal (as in a tremor) or unequal (i.e., rapid clonic movements of the head and neck with slow recovery, termed spasmodic).
Torticollis leads to a fixed or dynamic posturing of the head and neck in tilt, rotation, and flexion.
Spasms of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), trapezius, and other neck muscles normally more prominent on one side than the other induce turning or tipping of the head
Typical head tilt often happens from a tonic component.
1. One type is laterocollis, in which the head is displaced with the ear moved toward the shoulder from higher tone in the ipsilateral cervical muscles.
2. Another is rotational torticollis, in which partial rotation or torsion of the head happens along the longitudinal axis.
3. In anterocollis, the head and neck are maintained in forward flexion with higher tone of anterior cervical muscles;
4. In retrocollis the head and neck are maintained in hyperextension with higher tone in the posterior cervical muscles.
