Yes, torticollis not tortellini. Torticollis is a condition that causes a muscle or muscles to contract and sometimes stay in that contracted position permanently. Unfortunately, usually a cause is not found. The condition usually begins in early to middle adult life and tends to worsen slowly. Torticollis, as you know, can cause persons, such as yourself, to only be able to face in one direction.
Torticollis can affect other muscles of the body, but usually affect the head and neck.
Occasionally a cyst or tumor is found to have caused a problem. 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.
