Torticollis can be one of the most stressful and confusing diagnoses for parents. ๐
You notice your baby prefers one side, struggles to turn their head, or seems uncomfortable, but here's what you're not told:
๐ The root cause of torticollis is often neurological, not just muscular.
Birth interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or C-section can create tension and misalignments in your babyโs neck and upper spine that affect how their muscles and nervous system work together.
๐ Itโs often missed by pediatricians.
Many mild or moderate cases of torticollis fly under the radar until they start showing up later as delayed milestones, colic, ear infections, or even sleep struggles.
๐ Stretching alone isnโt always enough.
While at-home exercises can help, they donโt always get to the root of the issue. Without addressing the underlying nerve and muscle tension, progress can be slow or short-lived.
๐ Thereโs a better way forward.
Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care helps release that tension, restore balance, and support healthy movement and development.
