Torticollis
What is Torticollis?
Torticollis, also known as wry neck, is a condition characterized by an abnormal positioning of the head and neck. It causes the head to tilt to one side while the chin points to the opposite side. This condition can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to muscle spasms or other underlying causes.
Symptoms of Torticollis
People experiencing torticollis may have the following symptoms:
- Pain and stiffness in the neck
- Inability to move the head freely
- Head tilt to one side
