Torticollis

​

​

Wry neck, or torticollis, is a rotated and tilted neck. The top of the head generally tilts to one side while the chin tilts to the other side.

​

Symptoms include:

​

• limited range of motion of the head

• headache (adults)

• neck pain

• shoulder that is higher than the other

• stiffness of the neck muscles

• swelling of the neck muscles (possibly present at birth) 

• preferred breastfeeding on one side

​

Causes often are the position of the baby in the womb, or traumatic birth.
