That happened to me once when I was a little kid. I woke up with my neck stuck to one side, it was so painful I was crying and I ran to my grandmother. She had no idea what to do so she grabbed my head and forced it straight really quickly and I screamed but it fixed it! This was in the early 70s so we didn't know any better. It worked though and she gave me a great neck massage afterwards.
This also happened to me as a child. I was about 11 years old and I turned and my neck got stuck. It lasted a few weeks with physical therapy multiple times per week
No way, this happened to me when I was 12, just woke up and it got stuck. Was excruciating. Had to go to school with it, I still remember the pain, felt like I'd broken my neck or something. Lasted weeks too, I think I just stretched it out myself over the weeks and it eventually got better. Still have pain in my neck to this day though it never completely left

Omg it’s the worst. I wouldn’t even wish this on my enemy. The neck spasms are enough to make you tear up or cry. Wishing this guy a speedy recovery. 🙏
I've had chiropractors give me a 2 hour of stretching and deep muscle massages without cracking me. Some of the most painful experiences of my life. Had me come back a week later after the swelling had gone down. Pure relief, these people work miracles.
Now when I try to go to a chiropractor, they crack my neck and my hips and send me on my way. Maybe 2 minutes total from start to finish. I refuse to waste any more money trying to find someone. I used to go to a guy back in 2015 that got you warmed up first with a heated tens machine and then he spent at least 15 minutes with me and actually cracked me. That’s what I assumed I would be getting when I went back in 2022 and 2023!
@@KingofCracks, I too am a longtime body worker My training and background is in Chinese Chigong and tcm You are exceptionally good my brother. Stay well I'd be pleased to meet you
UGH! That’s painful but so worth the treatment. Loosing those upper traps from occipital and scalene GIVES SO MUCH RELIEF. It may give some nausea or a slight headache, drink lots of water. Repeat the session with in 3 days at least 2-3 more times .
I need stretches like this in my life. I go to a chiropractor but I’ve been suffering for YEARS with chronic neck pain. When my neck and shoulders get tight it’s debilitating.
This happened to me all the time as a kid, and a couple times in adulthood. My Dr always prescribed muscle relaxers, and never said anything. It would get stuck like this for 3-4 days. It was horrible pain. I have not had an episode in about 15 years.
When i was around 19 or 20 i had this and it stuck around for a long time and it would start to feel better then i would retrigger it and it would feel painfully stuck again. I went to the chiropractor ONE TIME for that condition and he adiust my neck... It fixed the issue immediately and its been 15 years and ive never had it again.
Very simple to fix. The stretching can also be done at home. Common cause being our crappy posture while sitting at a desk, causing super tight upper traps, levator, scalenes, and suboccipitals. Dry needling and heat help as well!
Oh man this is honestly hell. I used to get this every 4-6 months. One late night, one wrong move and bam, stuck neck for at least 3 weeks. Sometimes I've had it in my back and I'd be stuck in a 90 degree hunched position for 2-3 weeks, and no pain killers did anything for the pain at all. Doesn't happen so much now cos o stopped doing RSI type tasks, and i invested in an ortho mattress, and i make sure to always get a good night sleep. But man i suffered this for most of adolescent and really adult years, upto the age of 30.
I have this, it's so painful. The neurologist diagnose me with cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) 😢😢😢 and I get lots of headaches which was recently diagnosed by another neurologist as chronic migraines 😢😢😢 it's hard to find a trusted chiropractor, someone that's educated and know what they're doing 😢
I had a muscle spasm in my neck for a week when I was 7 in 1962. I stayed on the couch in the living room. Finally went to the doctor, he injected my neck with a muscle relaxant and jerked my neck and it was fixed. I had probably been in a cold draft, that is what has caused a few muscle spasms over my 69 years. I’m careful now!
My mother had this, had to get botulism injections for 15 plus years. She unfortunately died of cancer in 2012. Is there a connection with the injections and her diagnosis?
I've been dealing with torticollis since mid September. I'm seeing my chiropractor regularly and it's slowly getting better. At one point the pain was so unbearable that I ended up in the ER. The ER Dr was a joke. He told me chiropractor care was nothing but a placebo effect and that I just needed a foam roller. After basically telling him I was leaving he eventually gave me a shot of steroid and pain med and a prescription for a muscle relaxer that didn't help. So thankful for amazing chiropractors that actually do help!😊
Update: saw a different chiropractor for a specific modality - shockwave therapy! Between that and some INTENSE physical therapy (she basically gave me deep tissue massages in addition to lots of intense stretching) the torticollis is completely gone and has been for a few months. Praise the Lord! I was at the point, pain wise, that I was almost ready to try Botox or other toxic injections, pharmaceuticals. So thankful I was able to treat it naturally!
I worked with a woman whose head always faced over her right shoulder after she was in a car wreck. Nothing she did released the muscles enough to bring her head face forward, even after three years. I thought she was faking, but maybe not.
My daughter was born with severe torticollis. She went to physical therapy for a year and finally had to have release surgery done. She wore a helmet for another year to correct the plagiocephaly that it caused.
@@KingofCracksthank you so much! She did phenomenal! She went on to be a state champion gymnast and very competitive in high school track also. She’s 20 now and in college. Even though she got off to a tough start, through treatments, hard work, and lots of prayers, she pushed through. It’s great to see this information here on You Tube. It was a lot of digging for me to get info back then.
my baby sister had it when she was a baby, we did physical therapy for a long time. a few weeks ago she woke up crying because she couldn’t move. she’s 6 at this point, not still a baby, and she’s crying and terrified because she couldn’t move. we did stretches and she would stop us when it would hurt her. i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy
I had this in my 20’s. Mostly I could just deal with it. But one night the muscle cramped/spasmed and wouldn’t let go. I was in complete agony while my parents rushed me to the ER. My head was literally almost directly over my left shoulder. I was in the waiting room for hours and finally got back. ER doc acted like he was mad at me for some reason. Gave me some type of shot and I don’t remember the next 36 hours. Absolutely horrendous condition.
Oh my gosh I had this once, it was the worst pain I had ever been in. Went to my primary and they gave me muscle relaxers and pain meds- said it would be about a two week recovery. (I couldn’t be out of work that long!?!?) went to a chiropractor and I was looking straight in 20 minimum and was back to work in two days!!! I’m such a believer in chiropractic
My daughter was diagnosed with torticollis as a baby, she was a preemie so I'm assuming it was caused by wires and the way she was turned in the NICU constantly.
Maybe ,but the congenital kind babies are born with usually happens in gestation ,at least my did, there is also a high chance with multiples do to space in the womb, some people are luckier then some, if found earlier in infant that get regular physical therapy they can correct the issue before adult adhesion set in, causing a life time of pain and instability and issue ,hope she gets better, just keep working on it.
This happened to my youngest daughter she favoured her left side so her head was always tilted I had to massage her neck everyday for 3 months twice a day she was in so much pain but now she’s amazing thanks to her chiropractor
My baby developed torticollis not too long after birth. He's a twin. During the pregnancy, he was stuck in one position. My poor babies ran out of space. Being in that one position for almost 9 months caused this condition. Luckily my twins are number 4 and 5 for me and i knew it wasn't normal so i got him started with PT very early on and now hes almost 1 year old and is much better.
What about the SCM condition? I had my 3rd Cervical Repair Surgery in 8-2020. Since my body has SCM. Every time I lay down on my left side the room spins for several seconds. I was checked for Vertigo and I don’t have Vertigo, not even benign Vertigo. SCM causes all my symptoms.
Sternocleidomastoid syndrome is a condition characterized by acute or chronic neck stiffness, pain, and related symptoms, often arising from the development of tightened, sensitive areas or trigger points within the SCM muscle. The size and complexity of the SCM muscle make it prone to strain and injury. It's worth noting that dizziness and vertigo are not typically associated with this syndrome. In the video in question, the patient has a condition known as torticollis, and the SCM muscle is consistently addressed as part of the treatment.
This happened to me once but it was last year, I was 15. I woke up like that, and it really hurt, lasted like a week and it got less painful to move my neck to the other side slowly.
Torticollis needs to be treated when the person is an infant and monitored until the child can move their head of their own accord. My son had this and we took him to PT. Did some stretches(which he hated). He's good now🤙
Have had this happen to me multiple times at this point and it’s no joke. The pain is unbearable and trying to go about your normal day to day becomes 10x harder. Don’t wish it on my worse enemy
I was diagnosed with spasmodic torticollis in my 20s. I'm now 65 and can no longer hold my head still without holding it. It's painful and impacts everything in my life from holding a job to speaking without my voice quivering to writing to holding objects in my right hand. It's awful and the headaches are frequent. Insurance doesn't cover chiropractors.
My son was born with the congenital type. He did therapy for a few years for it. He is now almost 18 and it still never completely went away but he can move his head from side to side it's just limited how far in one direction
I was born with torticollis. My mom never stretched me as a baby because when she would do the stretches I would scream so she stopped doing them all together because it made her sad to see me scream. Fast forward to 25 years old now & have had torticollis every single day of my life. Causes my head to tilt to left & my left shoulder higher up than my right shoulder. It lead to getting scoliosis in my back as well. Let me tell you it’s not fun at all. I still get asked to this day why you stand like that etc.. I heard it all, used to get made fun of for it in middle school & high school & it used to really bother me because I felt embarrassed about it because I just wanted to be normal. I pretty much finally excepted it at this point & know there is nothing I can do about it this late in life. I went to different chiropractor for years & still no results of anything changing. Every time I would go to different chiropractors I would always hear my neck & back were the tightest they ever had to worked on ( more than firefighters , military, cops , weight lifters , athletes etc.. I have heard it all ). Only thing I can do to fix it is surgery but definitely will not be doing that. The headaches & neck & back pain I have every day of my life is not fun at all hurts like hell. As I’m getting older the headaches are getting worse & I’m only 25. Never has stopped me from anything in life though from working in a warehouse for the last 7 year lifting heavy stuff all day , playing football , basketball & baseball. Only thing I can say I recently got into golf & that has been the biggest challenge up to date because I can’t get barely any rotation with a golf swing (never had that problem in baseball) but it just sucks because I’m to competitive in everything I do & I hate losing lol.
This happened to me once. Out of nowhere I felt weird so I called my aunt and told her something was wrong. By the time she got to my house, I was screaming from the pain of my neck being stuck. There were no warning signs other than my body feeling weird. Then that’s when the spasm hit
I woke up this morning and my entire neck and shoulders were completely stiff. I couldn’t move at all but after a few hours of stretching it is starting to feel better.
Yep , its called Wry neck , MBBS First year topic from Head and neck clinical , Congenital Torticollis , ur come comes down wards and then go sidewards making movements very difficult and painful
I woke up with this on my 21st birthday. My head was stuck in to my shoulder. It was so painful to move that it took me an hour to move to the edge of my bed to reach for the phone. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Unfortunately I experienced it again exactly a year later on my 22nd birthday.
This was me last week my neck got stuck and I couldn’t move it to the right and I had to go to a chiropractor to hopefully get some relief and it helped. Took a couple days but it definitely helped out
Damn man...The adjustment looked and sounded so satisfying that I decided to do it to myself....I just NOW had to make an appointment with my Chiropractor...FKKK!! $90 mistake. Can't be watching these RU-vid feeds while drinking...DAMN it.
My left arm has been hurting for the past 2 weeks. There are some calcifying in my shoulder but what hurts is between my shoulder and elbow. Can't lift my hand way up and rotate it. It was x-rayed yesterday.
