What is Torticollis?
About Torticollis
Torticollis is a condition where the neck muscles tighten or spasm, causing the head to tilt to one side, making it hard to turn normally. It can be present at birth or develop later, and in babies it’s often linked to a tight neck muscle that affects how they hold their head. In older children and adults, it can happen suddenly from muscle strain, injury, or even infection. While it may look concerning, torticollis is usually treatable, often with gentle stretching, physical therapy, or addressing the underlying cause. Early attention helps most people recover well and regain comfortable, natural movement of the neck.
