Treatment for Wry Neck Injuries

Pathology

Wry neck injuries are a relatively common injury. It is characterized by sudden onset of sharp neck pain with deformity and limited range of movement. It can occur with either a sudden, quick movement or on waking up. A common cause is when you wake up after sleeping in an awkward posture or moving from unusual position. There is usually a lot of muscle spasm and pain.
