It’s a medical condition mostly associated with the pediatric population: the infant is born and their neck is held to one side with the inability to look across midline onto the other side.
However, torticollis can be problematic for adults, too, causing significant disability and disruption of daily lifestyle.
A more medically precise name for torticollis is cervical dystonia, which essentially means a muscle is contracting when really it should be resting. Adults experience three types of torticollis.
Regardless of the source of torticollis, a variety of treatment options exist. The appropriate medical care will allow you to return to your active lifestyle absent of pain.
