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 torticollis, certain muscles controlling the neck undergo repetitive or sustained contraction, causing the neck to jerk or twist to the side. Cervical dystonia causes forward twisting, and is called antecollis. Backward twisting is known as retrocollis.
