How should congenital torticollis be treated?

Patient's question:

A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, and I was wondering how congenital torticollis should be treated.

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, it is mainly a manifestation caused by sternocleidomastoid muscle spasm. Treatment should consider pediatric massage therapy, and if it is not effective, surgical intervention can be considered.
The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic conditions severely affects the patient's health. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is important to protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
