I want to assure you, Mrs. T, that much can be done for contracted necks. Our first recommendation would be to find yourself a wonderful massage therapist, physical therapist or chiropractic physician . These types of folks have wonderful abilities to locate subtle abnormalities in your musculoskeletal system and correct them. Because Torticollis is a very stressful condition to have, we recommend stress reducing measures also. We recommend scripture as the best means of giving peace in the heart.
Exercise is wonderful also.
I know going to the shopping mall is exercise, but we re talking about brisk walks to get the old congealed cholesterol infiltrated blood moving. There are also herbal supplements called adaptogens that help your body handle stress. Southern Illinois is loaded with one of them. Yep, you guessed it - ginseng. Traditionally ginseng is consumed to vitalize, strengthen and rejuvenate the entire body.
