my Gosh thanks Doctor ?
motivationaldoc thank you so much, you are a great Doctor!!!????????
Your welcome dear. If you need anything please let me know.
Amazing! My chiropractor is away on holiday. Glad to have something to get me through. More please!
Ok. Do you recommend cold or warm on the neck when torticollis?
omfg this works. thank you Dr Mandell
Simple but fantastic! Thank you very much!
I don’t know if it was just me but it actually made it hurt more..
very very thanks for posting this video very helpful for me
Thanks Doc. Really helped me a lot.
Thank you for posting this. I have torticollis from dystonia in my neck that got worse from accident in 2002. I was hit head on by drunk driver also got whip lash. It helps to stretch the neck. I also have a plastic band I use to help strengthen my arms. I get tremors in my hands. Would water aerobics or doing more tai chi help?
please reply : im getting headaches from the pain. how long does it take togo away??? and does it go away permanently? i felt thissuddenly after a set of heavy weights for bicep curls. i also do sleep on 3 pillows idk if that or the gym is the cause. please help
Ice under skull. Light stretches give it a few days
Hi Dr. Mandell,
I have a problem with being light headed…every day. There’s not a day I’m not. We can rule out BP, HR, meds, supplements.
If I get a neck massage, I feel great and gone. But returns. When I work out, I feel great during and after, but it returns.
I have a problem with having a stiff neck, with no pain, just stiffness in the morning. Once I start moving, it’s better.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you,
Vic
This really helped, thank you!
I woke up with this pain and couldn’t move my neck to the left at all, I did the stretches and it worked! There is still pain but I have a wider range of motion! Thanks Doc ?
This works for me. I was thinking it’s levator scapula issue initially.
Does it hurt if I stretch
Thank you. I was about to lose my mind — 14 days of waking up not being able to lift my head out of bed (actually had to use my hand to lift my head). I was instinctively doing stretches — but they didn’t help till i saw your video about the 7 to 10 second resist… Saw an instant reduction of the spasm… Thank you again.
hello doctor, I started working in an industry where I have to operate CNC machines. All day I have one posture of my body and my neck, so 2-3 people have told me about a little tilt on the one side of my neck, plus as you said, the muscle from the right side of the back of the neck hurts if I move it too fast and also spasms. Would this help in that?
Awoke with torticollis (learn the name today from looking at this video) and this was the third video I looked at. I already did my first 3 sets, but had to pause to like and comment, because this has been the most helpful of the 3 that I have tried. Thank you for posting this.
Amazing!! Thank You SO Much Dr. Mandell for these short informational clips, they are so helpful!! I tried it and got relief!! Thank you, before finding you and your clip I was miserable in pain!
