Pediatric Chiropractic Care for Torticollis
At Solstice Chiropractic in Colorado Springs, we know how concerning it can be to see your child struggle with torticollis. This condition can affect your baby’s comfort, mobility, and overall development. Through our specialized pediatric chiropractic care, we offer a natural and gentle solution to address torticollis, helping your child regain balance, range of motion, and ease in movement.
What is Torticollis?
Torticollis, or “wry neck,” occurs when a child’s head tilts to one side while their chin points to the opposite side. This condition can be:
Congenital Torticollis: Present at birth, often caused by positioning in the womb or birth trauma.
Acquired Torticollis: Develops later, sometimes due to injury, muscle strain, or nervous system imbalances.
Children with torticollis may experience:
Difficulty turning their heads.
Muscle tightness in the neck.
Asymmetry in head shape from prolonged head positioning (plagiocephaly).
Early, proactive care is key to alleviating these challenges, restoring comfort, and supporting your child’s healthy development.
