How is torticollis treated?

Torticollis is normally treated with physiotherapy. A doctor can demonstrate special stretching exercises that will normally help to relieve torticollis. A neck brace (cervical collar) can stabilize the neck and help maintain correct posture. For infections and inflammation, the appropriate medications will help relieve torticollis. In serious cases, however, surgery may be required.
