The CRP blood test measures C-Reactive Protein, which indicates inflammation in your body. The level of CRP in your body will increase if you have inflammation present. There are other indicators of inflammation as well, including ESR, and taken along with CRP, they can be called acute phase reactants.
Definition. Torticollis (cervical dystonia or spasmodic torticollis) is a type of movement disorder in which the muscles controlling the neck cause sustained twisting or frequent jerking.
In most cases, torticollis resolves with physical therapy. If infants have both torticollis and plagiocephaly, our craniofacial experts use the Gillette CranioCapÂ® orthosis to address head shape while our physical therapists address neck mobility.
