- Torticollis or Neck Spasm is a very painful condition and it is very difficult to move the neck primarily to one side. Here is a simple and effective medically proven exercise to help this condition.
WOW - I came here out of pure desperation and figured an exercise as small as this wouldn't do anything but the sharper side of the pain is gone! It's sore but that shooting sharp pain is gone! What a great relief. So glad I didn't end up taking a muscle relaxer. Thank you so much! :)
There are many components to neck brace to improve posture. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Neck Mender Blueprint (check it out on google) it's the most helpful resource i've heard of. look at all the incredible info.
IT WORKED! Close to two years of exercises, chiropractic, PT. Periods over the last couple of years-where massage made it worse. Hate muscle relaxants and large doses of ibuprofen. Stretch, stretch, stretch..... Today: RESISTANCE and *POP* even behind my ear! Oh Thank you very much.
Thank you So much. Last night I woke up and almost called 911 because the pain was so excruciating. This morning it was localized and it hurt so much I couldn't even cry because of the pain. My neck was completely frozen in pain. I watched your video and put a hot rag on my neck to help loosen it up and did your exercises. I feel 80% better , thank you so very much.
I am so very thankful for your videos. I have been dealing with terrible Tmj & always noticed that my head was tilted to the right but didn’t really think TOO much of it. I just though wow my neck is messed up. I have been in so much pain, paid so much money on chiropractors. I even saw an EMT because my ear was always hurting BAD. You are a savior!!!!!! These videos have helped me tremendously & now I already have so more mobility after doing a couple of these excersizes. Not only is it amazing to finally have relief but to just understand what’s been going on for all these years & how to prevent it in the future is incredible. Thank you so much!
Wow. I've been suffering for 2 days, in 30 seconds 80% of the pain is gone. Thank you so much.
I was just about to pay a trip to the ER--pain was that bad. Came here, found this video and feel MUCH better. 🙌 Thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this. I found this video at 3am of a sleepless night last night due to severe neck pain. Pain I had been experiencing for a couple of weeks. Within 10 minutes of doing this exercise most all of the pain had gone away and I slept the rest of the night. By the end of today and a couple more cycles through the pain has gone. This is was my solution. Thank you again for this invaluable information! All the best!!
Excellent Wil😊
Bless this man. Came here in severe pain, left feeling so much relief. Such a great video.
Thank you doctor
I've been getting torticollis every few months for the past few years, one time I was lucky enough to have a professional massage to relieve it. I woke up this morning with it and it was getting progressively worse throughout the day...I'm so glad I found this video! A few stretches and RELIEF! I wish I had seen this years ago, would have saved me a lot of grief. Cheers!
I've been dealing with Torticollis for 10 years (although I now believe I was born with it considering I have never had full range of motion of my neck.) When I had insurance I was get muscle relaxers that were an instant help. However I am currently uninsured and the Torticollis is acting up almost constantly. Your videos have provided some much needed and appreciated relief. I haven't completely gotten rid of all pain and stiffness but have already felt an improvement. After I get done with this bout of pain I plan on practicing these exercises regularly in an attempt to prevent any future pain incidents. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
What kind of muscle relaxers do you use?
I'm so thankful to you for making these videos! I have been suffering with Torticollis last two weeks. After watching this video I did this stretching exercise for few days and I feel SO much better today and I don't even have to take nasty pain killers! Thank you ever so much for these life saving videos! Wish you well!
You're very welcome dear
4 years later, do you still have/had this problem? I have it right now but the exercise didn’t really helped that much. Can you tell me how you helped it.
THIS EXERCISE CURED ME INSTANTLY, THE BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam EVER SINCE I WOKE UP IN SUCH A NECK PAIN AND HAD TO WORK ALL DAY IN A HOSPITAL ON CHRISTMAS EVE. SO MUCH THANKS TO YOU DOC. HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Brilliant! Thank you! the "pull" part came all but naturally as I've had this pain for months but I didn't figure to resist and treat it as more of an exercise to "reset the muscle spindles". It's so sensible!
this is amazing! I been taking abuprofen 800 every 6 hours for my pain and I was getting a bit concerned about it because I asked myself how much longer :( I personally do not! like taking pain meds. they always lead to some other problem. Due to my severe pain I was obligated to take them. in desperation in search on what can help me with my pain I came across this video it was a complete blessing! I don't feel the pain anymore. I continue to do the exercises and I'm so happy and feel soooooo relieved. I'm not all better but that severe horrible pain is no longer there. im on my 3rd day without pain medications THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Blessings beautiful.
my neck feels like steel cables. I just wanna rip my head off. I hope this works
come on dude, how you leave this comment without an update!
tramar thomas he ripped his head off
@@DelSolGaming Gold! :)
maybe he's fixed and off to the races.
Amazing! My chiropractor is away on holiday. Glad to have something to get me through. More please!
I can't tell you how much you've done for me! Your videos have been a life changer and I wish I could pay it forward to you Dr. Mandell.
Hi Chris, I'm glad I can be of help to you. God Bless.
Thank you so much! I woke up and was in pain from my neck. Your video was on my feed without me looking it up! These exercises helped me regain some mobility and decreased my pain! love all your wholesome advice. Again thank you!
This is incredible!!!! I had a terrible headache and woke up with a neck pain, watched this video and its way better!
Thank you for posting this short video. My history with Torticollis goes back to 14 years ago. I'm 25 years old now and I always feel pain in my neck and shoulders that gets aggravated upon stress, poor posture, lack of exercise and sitting in the same position for long hours. I'm a PhD student so you can imagine how much pain I go through while sitting for long hours working on my laptop. Although this exercise did not totally cured the pain that but it did relieve it. I will try my best to do it frequently throughout the day. Thank you again!
Have you found anything to help with your torticollis? I have had it for 12 years with constant neck stiffness and pain.
@@AudreyN911Also interested in how these exercises and other treatments worked out long term.
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!
The resistance neck exercise you spoke about is the only thing that has been getting me out of the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I want to thank you so very, very much for sharing this technique.
I woke up with this terrible pain in my neck and this exercise is giving me relief until it settles. Thank you thank you so much! :)
Outstanding video. You described exactly what my problem is.
This is the guy that will fix you and allow you to get on with life ! Congratulations on finding this vid you won't be disappointed with such a simple move good luck !
Oh my lord, thank you so much. I woke up with the pain of knifes in my neck, and I know what it is cause I've had it before. This helped. Before, I couldn't even move at all. Now, I can slowly turn my head upwards, downwards, and slightly to the irritated side. Still not 100% OK, but I'm slowly getting there. thanks.
Informative and well explained. I'll be trying out this exercise from now on, hopefully my condition will improve. Thanks for the great video!
I ride a motorbike often for long distances and like a lot of bikers and cyclists often suffer from neck or shoulder muscle problems. Your videos have helped a lot. Very grateful and really appreciate the effective help, advice and explanations given in your videos . Your other videos have been very effective in quickly dealing with shoulder problems. Thank you.
Be aware when you keep your arms in an elevated position is going to kick in the traps and cause more contraction behind the head, neck and shoulders. This can also lead to headaches from inflammation in the back of the skull. Try to change positions more frequently if you can allow the muscles to rest.
Oh my gosh. This is absolutely incredible. Thankyou so much, I thought I was dying. God bless you
Thank you, this video was more useful than the 3 doctors I went see. The pain in my neck is even worst than when I broke my collarbone. Doing your exercise now and I hope I can go back to work asap or I might lose my job.
When i did the stretch, my neck cracked. I put it back in normal position and the pain was gone. I guess i technically self adjusted myself
Simple but fantastic! Thank you very much!
Wow I can't begin to tell you how much this help, I've been having this pain for a year and this has alleviated it already. Hope it will help in the long run.
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I've already started feeling better after the first round 💪🙌
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.
Steven D this happens to me and I also have to use my hands to lift my head. it is agonizing.
Yep, using the hand.
new subscriber , many kudos to you for helping a countless number of people, i am in the medical field too and thank you for these videos, best to all from manhattan, new york city !
Thank you for helping us and making videos that change our lives
Neck pain that was like non ive ever experienced. I convinced myself I was suffering from an aneurysm. This helped a ton.
I can't believe it, I was born with torticollis and have always battled with necj tightness and pain. My SCM muscle has always protruded and looked bigger than my left and typical stretching has never made a difference.
I stretch my neck everyday but never in this PNF fashion after a little bit of time spent in thjs exercise it's like the muscle has just melted and returned back to normal.
Thank you so much for your videos! 🙌
Bro does your torticollis is get to normal plz reply I am dealing with torticollis since my birth plz reply I tired of those annoying people around plz reply yours reply is very important to me plz don't ignore me
This really works!!! Thank you so much! I ve been looking for a solution to this for ages!!
I am in pain right now , and is very thankful for all this advice .
I've cried so hard these past 6 days because of the excruciating pain. I felt some relief after these exercises, thank-you. I've got a long way to go until I'm better but I'll keep doing these exercises
what a beatiful model you have beeing shown in the background, the anatomical model showing both skeletals and bodycomposition in one. I would love to see more of that kind of models! There is great learnings beeing made from realsize skeletal and antamocial models.
God bless you Man. This was so helpful in a short amount of time. Thanks for sharing.
Short video. To the point. Effective in real life. God Bless you Doc, God Bless..
I had torticollis the day after my birthday. I couldn't turn my head to the left, or nod it up and down. It even hurt when I changed into my gym clothes. I spent some of gym class sitting out, and eventually went down to the nurse's office, who gave me a heat pack to put on my neck. I was in there for a while before my mom came to get me. She had called my dad, who is in Orthapedics, and told him about it. He said I needed to relax my neck and do a few exercises with it. An hour after I got home, I relaxed in my hot tub and that really did the trick. My neck is all better now, but I'm still paranoid it's gonna happen again.
This helped almost immediately for me, many thanks.

this saved my life

Benjamin Schmiedicke this sounds so creepy.. there something really wrong with this disease it's like you are 3d.. Is it permanent?
Benjamin Schmiedicke wait so it ruins your head ?
@@realDys. nope, not permanent, got rid of the worst of it after like 10 minutes of this
Thanks ! Am happy I could find again this technique on video, I've complete it forgot to do it. :)
Omg I can’t believe it!!!!! For two years I’ve been in absolute agony. I have been so a million chiros, osteopaths, specialisers, acupuncturists, a hypnotist, all sorts for pain in my neck, back of my head, shoulder blade and a chronically numb right hand and searing pain. It’s completely ruined my life.
Anyways I was diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome and was told to just “toughen up” and “deal with the symptoms. Anyways, I’ve noticed I’ve been slightly leaning my head to one side At rest, I’ve been fighting it to keep it centre and the two years of numbness and pain in my hand is going. When I lean to the one side I start to get jolts and numbness again. Such good signs, thank you 🙏 will do these exercises more. I can almost not move my head towards the affected size.
Still can’t believe this! I’ve been so completely depressed the last two years to quite a low and dark point I won’t describe. I’m kicking myself it could be this easy.
It makes so much sense though, I’m completely blind in my right eye (body pain is right side) to compensate it seems my head turns more to the right at rest and then for some reason slightly tilted to the left for a better field of view (I lost my eye a few years ago).
Thanks again doctor, will update if the stiffness, pain and numbness goes away for good
This really eased the pain!!
Thank you so much, this video is the only one that works for me 🙌🏻
I was in so much pain thank you sir!
Hi thanks DR Mandell for this video, it help me with my very painful neck .
This was amazing. Thank you
Ok, you must be watching this while you’re in extreme pain.... then this is gonna work great for you!
I watched it on my bed (just awoken from sleep) while a slight movement of my neck would make me scream! :| it was even hard for me to watch the video, I was having sooo much pain! But all i can say is that if you’re having the same case, and can’t even get off ur bed, this treatment will make a huge change, it won’t fix the problem, but it will make the pain much more tolerable! Thanks doc!
many thanks doc , such a relief after that exercise !!!
very very thanks for posting this video very helpful for me
Thanks man this helped me today when it just started hurting and getting worse to the point when I just felt like there was nothing I could do but now I can turn my neck a bit more than it did ( now without hurting so much ) again big thanks man.
Glad your feeling better👍
+motivationaldoc I sure am :)
motivationaldoc does it hurt if I stretch
this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very helpful. thank you so much
Thanks! worked instantly for me.
You are a genius sent to heal all of us who are condemned to stomach sleeping hell.
Thanks for this relief!
That helped for sure thanks doc
I have Cervical Dystonia (Spasmodic Torticollis) which is different than Torticollis. Before seeing a Chiropractor please go to a Neurologist as this condition is misdiagnosed on a regular basis and you could actually be doing yourself more harm than good with some of the exercises mentioned.
Thankyou so much doctor. Within 5min i got relief. 6-8 hrs i couldn't move my neck and now its all gone feels like i didn't have that severe pain. Thankyou so much doc.
Thank you SO much!
You are awesome. I wish I could pay you back someday. This is not the first time you saves me
Thanks Doc!
thank you so much!!! its like magic !!!
Thank you for this I literally was in bed because of pain for 5 years after some botox shots I have been fealing better so I am out walking 3 miles a day. My Cervical Dystonia/ Torticollis has not gotten much better so with my walking and some exercises on line I hope to at least stay in some kind of shape.
Omg I love you I have been suffering all morning because of this but all I had to do was search for a video I feel like an idiot (still love you tho)
Holy fucking shit. It actually worked. Thanks dude! I was dreading the day and now I'm legit ready for it.
Thanks doctor feeling much better.
You are a genius!
Thanks from bottom of my heart. Act like magic
Cheers mate, I feel much better.
Thanks I am not only with this problem
:God bless you Dr.Mandell! Very helpful exercise Such a relief!
This works for me. I was thinking it's levator scapula issue initially.
My pain and inability to lift my left arm straight up began on 7 October 2016. Dr put me on painkillers and muscle relaxant. Serious side effect- face badly swollen. Another set of medication to deal with that. Then another painkiller and steroids. Got in trouble yelling at work. The pain is now radiating across my shoulder and down my back, in addition to my arm. Found this video this morning, thinking that death is a better option to this pain. (Don't worry, I'm not suicidal nor depressed, just fed up of the pain)Hoping it will offer me some relief.
Stay positive you will get through this
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you.
This is great! Any exercises for clavicle? Merci!LeSaf,)!!
omg works! i was unable to lift my head or turn it to the left. still hurts a little but sooo much better!
