Patient's question:
After more than twenty days of birth, it was found that the baby had a lump on the right side of the neck, which was painless and had a habitual leftward tilt of the face. Since the baby was born in Hengyang, after the lump was discovered, massage treatment has been ongoing at the Second People's Hospital for Children in Hengyang. After the New Year, the family will move to Xiangtan to live, and they wish to continue the treatment in Xiangtan.Doctor's answer:
Congenital torticollis refers to a deformity where the neck is found to be tilted to one side immediately after birth. When it is caused by muscle abnormalities, it is called muscular torticollis; when it is caused by skeletal developmental deformities, it is called skeletal torticollis. It is recommended to continue with massage and Tuina therapy while maintaining a calm mood.
