Torticollis
What is torticollis?
Torticollis, often called wry neck, is a condition in which the neck muscles tighten or spasm, causing the head to tilt or turn to one side. It can affect both adults and infants, and may develop suddenly or gradually. Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for managing torticollis, helping to relieve discomfort, improve movement, and restore normal head positioning in both adults and children.
What causes torticollis?
Torticollis may develop in adults due to an injury or strain, or sometimes after sleeping in an uncomfortable or awkward position. It causes certain neck muscles to tighten, leading to the head tilting or twisting to one side.
What are the symptoms of torticollis?
People with torticollis often wake up with noticeable stiffness and limited movement in the neck, sometimes accompanied by pain. Other common symptoms include:
- pain
- reduced range of movement
- swelling/inflamation
- stiffness
- weakness
- numbness
- spasm
What should I do if I have torticollis?
If you experience symptoms of torticollis, it’s important to schedule a physiotherapy assessment promptly. Early evaluation and treatment can help relieve muscle tightness, reduce pain, and restore normal neck movement more quickly.
Physiotherapy for torticollis.
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in treating torticollis. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition to provide an accurate diagnosis and create a tailored treatment plan. The focus will be on relieving pain and gradually improving the neck’s range of motion. Additionally, your physiotherapist will explain the possible causes of your torticollis and offer guidance to help prevent it from happening again. Physiotherapy may include:
- Manipulation / Mobilisation
- Exercise Programmes
- Postural Realignment
- Soft Tissue Treatment
