Hello,

Thanks for your query.

It is also called as wryneck.

Stiff neck associated with muscle spasm.

Common treatments might involve a multi-phase process:

- Low impact exercise to increase neck stability.

- Manipulation of the neck by a physiotherapist.

- Extended heat application.



Hope I have answered your query.

I will be available for your follow up queries if any.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
