Understanding Wryneck and the AMIT Solution

Wryneck, also known as cervical dystonia or torticollis, is a painful condition where the neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing the head to twist or tilt to one side. In severe cases, the head may uncontrollably tilt forward or backward. Wryneck can affect individuals of any age, with a higher occurrence in women. Some babies may also be born with this condition.

Causes of Wryneck

1. Drug Reactions: Certain medications can lead to muscle spasms in the neck.

2. Trauma to the Head or Neck: Injuries can trigger abnormal neck muscle contractions.

3. Upper Shoulder Injuries: Shoulder trauma can cause compensatory neck muscle dysfunction.

4. Infections: Infections in the neck or upper spine can lead to wryneck.

Symptoms of Wryneck

1. Locked Head Position: The head and neck may become stuck in a rotated or flexed position.

2. Severe Neck Pain: Pain radiating into the shoulders, making movement difficult.

3. Exhausting Pain: For some individuals, the pain can be debilitating and persistent.

AMIT Explanation for Wryneck

In cases of wryneck, trauma or injury to the muscles on one side of the neck leads to muscle inhibition and joint inflammation. To protect the injured tissues, the body compensates by pulling the neck in a specific direction, which relieves stress but creates further imbalances. The Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) addresses this by reactivating inhibited muscles, reducing joint inflammation, and restoring proper alignment of the neck muscles, helping to alleviate pain and dysfunction.

Steps to Take If You Have Wryneck

1. Consult a Certified AMIT Practitioner: Get a personalized evaluation of your condition.

2. Treatment and Rehabilitation: AMIT can provide relief by addressing muscle inhibition and improving neck function.
