How to treat infant torticollis

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Methods for treating torticollis include:
1. Using a sandbag or pillow to keep the child's head and neck in a neutral position;
2. Performing massage and manipulation on the swollen area of the sternocleidomastoid muscle;
3. Fixing the child's shoulders on both sides, then performing passive movements for the head: the chin rotates toward the affected side, and the head turns to the normal side. Perform this 100 to 150 times daily. If no improvement is observed after these treatments, seek surgical treatment at a hospital.
