Torticollis

Torticollis, often referred to as "twisted neck," is a condition where the muscles in the neck cause the head to tilt or turn to one side. This can happen due to muscle stiffness, injury, or sometimes for no clear reason. It can be painful and may affect movement. In some cases, it is temporary and improves with treatment such as physical therapy, medication, or stretches. In other cases, it may be chronic and require ongoing management. Overall, torticollis can impact daily activities but is usually manageable with appropriate care.
