Understanding Opisthotonos: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Opisthotonos is a condition in which the muscles of the back and neck are contracted, causing the head to be tilted backwards and the body to be bent forward. This can occur due to various reasons such as injury, inflammation, or nerve damage.
Opisthotonos can cause a variety of symptoms including:
* Neck pain and stiffness
* Back pain
* Difficulty moving the head or neck
* Limited range of motion in the neck
* Muscle spasms
* Headaches
Treatment for opisthotonos depends on the underlying cause, but may include physical therapy, medication, or surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any persistent or severe symptoms.
