A member asked:
Stiff neck unable to turn head ! vertebrae problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head turning: It may be a vertebral problem but it may be a muscular problem. You may have torticollis or a wry neck. If you do it will respond to heat or ice treatment and analgesics or muscle relaxants. If no response see your doctor for further evaluation and xrays of your cervical vertebrae.
