Congenital Muscular Torticollis

Torticollis

Each year about two percent of newborns are born with congenital torticollis. Torticollis, also known as wry neck, is commonly thought to occur from trauma during the birth process. The characteristic twisted or tilted neck impairs normal growth and development.

Surgery has been the traditional treatment, actually cutting neck muscles, nerves and tendons, followed by intensive physical therapy.

Successful correction of torticollis by means of chiropractic care for has been documented in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics.

A series of chiropractic adjustments, trigger point therapy, stretches, pillow positioning and exercises were administered. The results? In a word: excellent. Without drugs or surgery.

Clearly, chiropractic care can be helpful to the health and maintenance of your child's spine and nervous system.

Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don't resolve, you need to see our Roxborough office for chiropractic care!
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Roxborough practice members find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
