Several causes of wry neck are:
- Sitting and sleeping in an awkward position,
- Sleeping on pillow with poor neck support.
- Sustained poor posture eg. Prolonged screentime.
- Exposure to cold environment.
A person with wry neck may experience the followings:
- Severe neck pain, usually after waking.
- Tilting of the neck with difficulty straightening and turning,
- Headache.
- Neck is tender to touch.
Chiropractic treatments have been well documented to manage wry neck in a drug-free and effective manner. The initial phase of treatment would focus on restoring proper biomechanical function of the surrounding joints and musculatures. Treatments would usually involve joint manipulation/mobilisation, trigger point therapy, home stretches and kinesiotaping. Once the pain has subsides, the patients would then be gradually exposed to an exercise program aimed at strengthening the region involved.
