Torticollis: is a condition in which the head is tilted toward one side, and the chin is elevated and turned toward the opposite side. It can cause for injaries and it can be bad for you.

It is a condition in which the neck is twisted and the head inclined to one side. It is caused by spasmodic contraction of the muscles of the neck. It is also called wryneck.
