UI Back Care - UI Health Care's digital library Read this month's health-e-newsletter Send comments and questions to staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa Torticollis Torticollis is an abnormal condition of the neck muscles. It is also known as 'wryneck.' It results in an unnatural position of the head where the chin is turned toward one shoulder. Sometimes the shoulder lifts up to meet the neck. In an infant, it may be caused by birth trauma. If not treated, the problem will worsen. Spasms of the neck muscles usually cause this twisting of the neck in adults. Causes of this neck spasm may vary, but include: muscle strain stress viral infection or injury to the neck (whiplash) Another manifestation of the problem is called 'spasmodic torticollis." A person with this problem notices an involuntary turning of the head to one side. It begins intermittently and becomes more frequent and severe. This type of torticollis is seen more in women than in men. When torticollis is mild, you are able to straighten your head against the tight muscles. When it is severe, the neck will be held in a prolonged twisted position. It is important to determine what is causing the problem. Two common causes are sleeping on your stomach or holding the phone between your shoulder and ear. Changing these habits is easy. Get a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. Sleep on your side or your back to maintain the natural curve. If you use the phone often or for long periods, use your hand to hold the receiver or get a headset. Stress may cause tension in your neck muscles. A stress-reduction or relaxation program may help.

Spastic Torticollis caused by Clenching Trauma 4 years after equilibration This patient could not hold her head up for more than a few minutes without having severe pain in the left neck area. After I balanced her jaw, she was able to hold her head erect as you can see in the photo on the right. The photo on the right was taken 4 years after treatment. This is an advanced problem of the Clenching Syndrome, but there are varying stages of devolvement. I have treated many early spastic problems in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. In other words, every dysfunctional disease has a beginning. All Dystonia is not caused by clenching trauma but some of it is. The Clenching Syndrome Occlusomuscular Disease TMJ book TMJ Index ... Tooth Sensitivity A CASE OF OCCLUSOMUSCULAR DYSTONIA: Three years later she saw my web site and sent me the following message: "..... I have not had a change to tell you that the spastic torticollis is hardly noticeable. No one ever asks me what is wrong with my neck, because they do not notice it. If you ever meet anyone with ST (Dystonia) I know you can help them also. Susan" Balancing Susan's jaw via the Tanner method, with sufficient muscle therapy, reversed her ST condition. I documented her case from start to finish with video. I'm convinced that these patients can be help by balancing their jaw.

or Wry Neck also: Moebius Syndrome Goldenhar Syndrome Occular Torticollis Spastic Torticollis ... Dystonic Torticollis Our job here is twofold. First there is a common entity which is fairly straightforward in its nature. But there are also look-alikes which need to be differentiated. The typical case is a baby with a slightly turned and tilted head. Most commonly, it isn't even noticed until two to three weeks of age. Sometimes a horizontal red line is seen at the base of the neck. All that is is skin reddened from sweat trapped because of the constancy of the head to one side. Air makes that go away. Some of the more tilted and more rigid cases also have a lump on the neck muscle. It can feel hard. It isn't at all uncommon (sadly) to see parents with a sheaf of x-rays and studies trying to figure out the nature of this "tumor". It begins with a fetal posture that has the neck tilted. If that way long enough, the muscle called the "SCM" shortens. Birth gives little time for gradual stretching and that SCM muscle may very well tear as the head goes through the twists of getting born. Because the muscle tears, the head is NOT tilted. The SCM muscle sheath fills with blood and presents a fairly normal contour (not a dent). As the blood absorbs, scar tissue infiltrates the tear area and vessels come in to take away the debris - that's the swelling. Scar is nature's suture, it bridges defects then CONTRACTS. It pulls the torn ends back together. So at about two to three weeks we see the tilt for the first time, but it is really the second time as the initial tilt was out of view in the womb. The lump may be prominent or already gone.

94. DMRF: Forms Of Dystonia: Cervical Dystonia Cervical Dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is a focal dystonia characterized by neck muscles contracting involuntarily, causing abnormal movements http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/defined/cervical.asp

To view specific content on this page, click on a category above. Cervical Dystonia Cable/T1 (Get RealPlayer) What is it? Cervical Dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is a focal dystonia characterized by neck muscles contracting involuntarily, causing abnormal movements and posture of the head and neck. This term is used generally to describe spasms in any direction: forward (anterocollis), backwards (retrocollis), and sideways (torticollis). The movements may be sustained or jerky. Spasms in the muscles or pinching nerves in the neck can result in considerable pain and discomfort. Back to top Symptoms In cervical dystonia, the neck muscles contract involuntarily in various combinations. Sustained contractions cause abnormal posture of the head and neck, while periodic spasms produce jerky head movements. The severity may vary from mild to severe. Movements are often partially relieved by a gentle touch on the chin or other parts of the face. If cervical dystonia causes any type of impairment, it is because muscle contractions interfere with normal function. Features such as cognition, strength, and the senses, including vision and hearing, are normal. While dystonia is not fatal, it is a chronic disorder and prognosis is difficult to predict. Back to top Cause Cervical Dystonia is believed to be due to abnormal functioning of the basal ganglia, which are deep brain structures involved with the control of movement. The basal ganglia assists in initiating and regulating movement. What goes wrong in the basal ganglia is still unknown. An imbalance of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the basal ganglia, may underlie several different forms of dystonia, but much more research needs to be done for a better understanding of the brain mechanisms involved with dystonia.

Index Congenital Muscular Torticollis What is congenital muscular torticollis? Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is an injury to a neck muscle that happens at birth. Congenital means that the condition is present at birth. Torticollis means twisted neck. Most frequently the injury occurs to the muscle that goes diagonally across the neck from the collarbone (clavicle) to the head just behind the ear. This muscle is called the sternocleidomastoid muscle. CMT causes the back of the head to turn toward and the face to turn away from the affected side. Your child will not want to move his or her face towards the affected side because of pain.

Despite this, there has been until now a lack of information outside of the professional medical literature for use by individuals with this disorder and their families. This book provides comprehensive information on the disorder for people with spasmodic torticollis and those close to them. Medical terms and concepts are introduced sequentially and then used as building blocks for the later discussion. Beginning with a clear definition of the disorder, opening chapters categorize this neurologic disease as one of the broader category of movement disorders, and differentiate it from other conditions with which it is often confused. The authors then present a stepwise introduction to the relevant anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and neck. They draw on the experiences of their patients to build a progressive depiction of the experiences an individual might have as he or she goes through the initial onset of symptoms, progression of the disorder, seeking medical care, diagnosis, treatment, and subsequent outcome. Personal vignettes from the experiences of selected patients are provided where they illustrate particular points in the discussion.
