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.
Congenital muscular torticollis, also called twisted neck or wryneck, is a condition in which an infant holds his or her head tilted to one side and has difficulty turning the head. In congenital torticollis, the muscle that extends down the side of the neck - the sternocleidomastoid muscle -- is tight and shortened. For most babies, stretching exercises and simple changes in how the infant is held or positioned will gradually lengthen the muscle and correct the problem.
