Gentle Relief for Torticollis
Torticollis, also known as "wry neck" or Requa neck, is a condition where the head tilts toward one side, and the chin turns to the opposite side. This condition can cause significant discomfort, stiffness, and difficulty in moving the neck. Whether it’s congenital or acquired due to muscle spasms, injury, or other causes, Canoga Park Chiropractor offers gentle, non-invasive treatments to help you find relief from torticollis and restore proper alignment.
What is Torticollis?
Torticollis occurs when the muscles in the neck contract uncontrollably, causing the head to tilt to one side. This misalignment can lead to pain, muscle tightness, and limited range of motion. It may also cause discomfort in the upper back, shoulders, and head. Torticollis can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, injury, neurological conditions, or in some cases, may be present at birth.
How Chiropractic Care Helps With Torticollis
Chiropractic care can provide gentle relief for torticollis by focusing on restoring proper alignment and reducing muscle tension. Our chiropractor at Canoga Park Chiropractor uses the latest therapeutic techniques to address the underlying causes of torticollis and alleviate the symptoms. Here’s how chiropractic care can help:
- Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and neck, relieving pressure on the muscles and nerves, improving mobility, and reducing pain.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage therapy or myofascial release can help release muscle tightness and reduce inflammation in the neck.
- Range of Motion Exercises: Stretching and gentle exercises are used to improve the flexibility and strength of the neck muscles, preventing further misalignment and discomfort.
