Wry Neck treatment in Cancún

A crooked neck, known medically as torticollis, is a contracture or forced position of the neck muscles that tilts or turns the head to one side and makes it hard to move normally.

Common symptoms:

• pain and stiffness on one side of the neck
• involuntary tilting of the head
• difficulty or discomfort when turning the neck

Common causes: sleeping in a bad position, sudden movements, muscle tension, stress, and, in some cases, factors present from birth.

Which specialist treats it? The physical therapist and physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals assess mobility and help restore neck function. If the discomfort persists, recurs, or comes with other symptoms, it's advisable to have it checked by a specialist.
