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.
Wry neck, or torticollis, is a painfully twisted and tilted neck. The top of the head generally tilts to one side while the chin tilts to the other side. This condition can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. It can also be the result of damage to the neck muscles or blood supply. Wry neck sometimes goes away without treatment.
