Torticollis in an infant is a stiff, stuck, and twisted neck where the child’s head is continually bent to one side, making it difficult to turn and rotate their head and neck in both directions. As we know as adults, any kinks in our neck can be extremely painful ☹️ and lead to other challenges as well.
While more significant cases are easy to spot by both parents and providers, it’s been our experience that most cases of torticollis are easily overlooked and missed by standard pediatricians. Additionally, too often parents are told to just “watch and wait” and that they’ll “grow out of it” over time.
With the rapid and significant rise in birth intervention and birth trauma, we see more and more cases of torticollis in our clinic every year. 😔 Unfortunately for most parents, traditional medicine has not updated their understanding of what’s causing it and how to best take care of it, leaving most families looking for other options to help their child.
Fortunately, there is a huge shift happening in this generation of parents where they are seeking out pediatric chiropractic more often and earlier than ever before! These parents and families are seeing incredible results with a more gentle, effective, long-lasting approach to their child’s torticollis. 👏
