Congenital Torticollis : Nashik Doctors

What is congenital torticollis? Here is an explanation how it develops and provides signs, symptoms and treatment.

• Congenital Torticollis is a condition in which your baby’s head is tilted and the chin points to one shoulder, while the head tilts toward the opposite shoulder.
• Congenital Torticollis is also known as “wryneck.
• Congenital torticollis occurs at or shortly after birth.
• Congenital torticollis occurs when the neck muscle that runs up and toward the back of your baby’s neck is shortened thus tilting it to one side.
• Some cases of congenital torticollis are caused by a bone problem in the neck portion of the spine (cervical spine).
• Congenital torticollis is treated through exercises that stretch your baby’s neck. Treatment is necessary to prevent your baby’s face and skull from growing unevenly and to prevent limited motion of the head and neck.
