Torticollis is a common musculoskeletal condition in infants, characterized by tightness or restriction in the neck. โจ Common causes include intrauterine constraint, birth trauma from instrumented delivery, and cesarean birth. Up to 20% of infants with torticollis also present with hip dysplasia, making comprehensive assessment essential. Left untreated, torticollis can contribute to positional plagiocephaly, developmental asymmetries, and delayed motor milestones. Chiropractic care for torticollis includes gentle adjustments, cranial work to address alignment restrictions, and soft tissue therapy to release muscular tension. Parent education on positioning strategies and home stretching protocols is also provided. Clinical outcomes typically show significant improvement within 2-3 months of consistent care.
