Wry Neck

Wry Neck symptoms vary from Pain or stiffness to Headaches, where one shoulder may appear higher than the other. Neck muscles can become swollen, and the chin may tilt to one side where the person cannot move their head normally. The neck becomes very mobile, meaning it is less stable and more susceptible to injury.

Trauma and poor posture commonly cause wry neck. Any dysfunction of neck muscles will cause Pain and mobility problems.

Pain can be acute since onset is sudden, and muscles become so tense on one neck side that Pain can only be alleviated by holding the head at an angle. The body attempts to prevent disc damage and muscle group overstrain by creating wry neck, as this position presents less danger for intervertebral discs.

Very often, applying Osteopressure within the first treatment may reduce Pain remarkably.
