Wry neck: You may have a wry neck or torticollis caused by sleeping in a poor position or by trauma to the neck. Sleep flat in bed . You can use an ice pack or a hot water bottle or a heating pad set on low, whichever feels more comfortable. Get a muscle relaxant from your doctor and institute a physical therapy program.
