A member asked:

Whenever i'm trying to concentrate on something in front of me my neck does this twitch thing by itself that turns my head to a different direction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle spasm: Tmj dysfunction due to brusim and clenching can lead to trigger points in neck on top of back. Back of head and can radiate into a particular tooth in some cases. Get yourself evaluated by someone who works with myofacial pain and trigger points.
