different meaning in Canada, or
the United States, than it
does in Mexico.

seem to have different meanings between the countries.
Chiropractics and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Playa del Carmen II

Traditional Chinese Medicine approach to Torticollis.
Simple wryneck, or acute myogenic torticollis (AMT) is a condition in which the muscles of the neck suffer severe contractions which causes of most of the pain and stiffness that characterizes torticollis. According to the Traditional Chinese Medical theory, muscular contractures are caused by the stagnation of both blood (xue) and energy (Qi) in the muscular tissues. For us Western people blood and energy are very different things, but, for the Chinese, there’s a very close relationship between xue and Qi, so close that blood is in fact considered to be a very dense form of Qi.

Yet another Pain in the Neck; a chiropractic approach to torticollis.
Jessica is a new patient who presented this week with an acute case of myogenic torticollis (simple wryneck) which brings our grand total this summer to 11 cases! She claims there was no trauma to her neck during the past few days and that this was the first episode that she had ever experienced.
