Torticollis, or wry neck Evaluation of a child with torticollis begins with history taking to determine circumstances surrounding birth, and any possibility of trauma or associated symptoms. Physical examination reveals decreased rotation and bending to the side opposite from the affected muscle; 75% of congenital cases involve the right side. Evaluation should include a thorough neurologic examination, and the possibility of associated conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip and clubfoot should be examined. Radiographs of the cervical spine should be obtained to rule out obvious bony abnormality, and MRI should be considered if there is concern about structural problems or other conditions. Evaluation by an ophthalmologist should be considered in older children to ensure that the torticollis is not caused by vision problems. Most cases in infants respond well to physical therapy. Other causes should be treated as noted above. Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torticollis

Review Acupuncture AcupunctureToday Massage Therapy MassageToday SpaTherapy Nutrition NutritionalWellness Acute Torticollis a New Approach to Treatment Abstract A case history of a 23-year-old male with a traumatic acute spasmodic torticollis is presented. The symptoms diminished very quickly with chiropractic care with an emphasis on physical therapy and cervical spine adjustments. Introduction Torticollis is caused by spasm of the neck muscles which causes rotation and tilting of the head. The spasm can be quite severe, not allowing the patient to move his head to a normal posture. But in the doctors office, the spasm can be helped by physical therapy modalities. We have found that by coupling interferential muscle stimulation with cryotherapy and range of motion exercises, followed by spinal manipulation, patients will enjoy normal motion very quickly. With continued care, the patient can resume normal activities more rapidly than without the above care. Case history A 23-year-old Caucasian male presented at our office seven days post-injury with his chin approximating his right shoulder. He had severe pain worsened with any cervical spine motion and was unable to raise his head to a neutral position. He was the driver of a vehicle which was broadsided on the left side of his car by another vehicle. He was treated by paramedics at the scene and taken home by a friend. His symptoms worsened to the point where he presented for treatment.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Back, Ribs, Neck, and Head Torticollis Torticollis Overview Torticollis is one of a broader category of disorders that exhibit flexion, extension, or twisting of muscles of the neck beyond their normal position. In torticollis your neck tends to twist to one side. The condition can either develop slowly if you have a family history of the disorder, acutely from trauma, or as an adverse reaction to medications. When the disorder occurs in people with a family history, it is referred to as spasmodic torticollis. The characteristic twisting of the neck is initially spasmodic and begins between ages 31-50 years. If you leave the condition untreated, it likely will become permanent. Bending or twisting your neck too far can lead to acute torticollis. This condition appears with few symptoms, although often you will appear uncomfortable and will hold your head straight or rotated to one side. It will hurt to move your head to the opposite side. Your neck muscles on the side that hurts often are tender to the touch. The doctor will check your nerve and motor function to rule out spinal cord injury. Certain drugs of abuse such as ketamine, amphetamines, and cocaine as well as commonly prescribed neuroleptic drugs such as prochlorperazine (Compazine), haloperidol (Haldol), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine) can cause acute dystonia (a lack of normal muscle control). This is a condition that involves the sudden onset of involuntary contractions of the muscles of the face, neck, or back. In addition to bending of the head to one side (acute torticollis), you may experience deviation of the eyes (oculogyric crisis) and protrusion of the tongue (buccolingual crisis).

Torticollis is a rotational deformity of the neck, which may be seen at birth or may develop later. Congenital torticollis: Non - operative treatment after one year is rarely successful. Operative treatment involves the release of tight soft tissues (the sternomastoid) followed by a period of casting and bracing to maintain correction. Best results are obtained with early operation - usually around one year of age. Regardless of type of treatment - established facial asymmetry and limitation of motion greater than 30 at the start of treatment usually preclude a good result.

Review Acupuncture AcupunctureToday Massage Therapy MassageToday SpaTherapy Nutrition NutritionalWellness Kids Need Chiropractic Too Acquired Torticollis Torticollis, sometimes called wryneck, refers to an abnormal position of the head and neck, where the head is laterally tilted, with the chin rotated to the opposite side. These positional changes of the head are physical findings and do not immediately suggest the diagnosis of the cause of this condition. The head position is characteristic of the action of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and suggests that contraction or shortening of that muscle is involved. Chiropractors have been treating patients with torticollis for many years, with considerable anecdotal success. The area of treatment is generally the upper cervical spine. Recent publications in the field of pediatric medicine are finally giving credit to subluxation of the upper cervical spine as a cause of acquired torticollis. Congenital Torticollis Newborn infants can develop torticollis due to fibrotic muscular adhesions in the SCM. These positional changes of the head are occasionally seen at birth but frequently are not observed until two to four weeks of age. Newborn torticollis can be due to a fibrotic mass in the SCM, causing shortening of the muscle. This mass will usually be palpable and be about one to three centimeters in diameter, and is thought to be due, in part, to trauma to the soft tissues of the neck during delivery. The mass usually resolves within four to six months.
