Torticollis, also known as “wry neck,” is a condition that causes the neck muscles to contract involuntarily, leading to an abnormal tilt or rotation of the head. This condition can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the neck, making it difficult to carry out daily activities. Whether caused by injury, congenital issues, or muscle spasms, torticollis can be distressing for both adults and children. At Uemura Chiropractic in Torrance, CA, we offer natural, non-invasive chiropractic care to help relieve the symptoms of torticollis, restore normal neck function, and provide long-term relief.
