12 Nov If you have ever experienced  pain when turning your head to the side, it’s possible that you have been suffering from a condition called ‘wry neck’.

 Brought on by sleeping in an awkward position, sudden jerking of the head or carrying heavy, unbalanced loads. This complaint is responsible for causing temporary, acute pain and stiffness in the neck. 

A more serious version of this condition is whiplash, where the jerking of the head strains the soft tissues of the neck. While whiplash is commonly associated with car accidents,  it is an injury that can also be sustained through playing contact sports. 

If you have sustained an acute neck injury, or you have woken up with a stiff painful neck , don’t wait and hope for it to get better because it usually doesn’t without any intervention. Instead get on top of it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary pain and loss in function.
