Baby's slanted neck, commonly known as a crooked neck, has a significant impact on their appearance and can have a significant impact on their work and life as adults. Early correction of torticollis can help babies recover their health and avoid future troubles. So what about the baby's slanted neck?
There is one type of baby's torticollis that does not require medical correction, which is caused by the baby's posture compression in the uterus. This kind of torticollis can be restored to normal after the baby's muscle control ability gradually increases. The other two causes of torticollis require some medical means to correct.
The most common type is myogenic torticollis, which can be treated with rehabilitation. By stretching the muscles, the head can be tilted towards a healthy direction, gradually opening the contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle. This rehabilitation movement can also be integrated into a baby's daily life, such as using their favorite toys to attract them towards the healthy side, which can also achieve the goal of stretching.
There is also a very rare type of torticollis, which is caused by skeletal developmental abnormalities. This can be corrected through surgery.
During daily rehabilitation, parents and friends must move gently and not act too hastily. In addition, regardless of the situation that causes the baby's torticollis, parents and friends should not easily give up the treatment of the baby's torticollis. There is hope for a cure for torticollis.
