Can newborn torticollis massage be cured?

Patient's question:

My doll's neck looks a little tilted to the left. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it would get better in a few days. But it has remained tilted to the left. I'm very worried. Will massage help with my baby's neck tilt? Can massage help with my baby's neck tilt?

Doctor's answer:

The possibility of correcting it solely through massage is very small. Cervical curvature is caused by abnormality or fibrosis of one sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is a disease caused by non-organic illness. It requires professional treatment to prevent the occurrence of high shoulders, low shoulders, large faces, and small faces. Moreover, if the infant does not receive timely treatment, it may also affect the development of intelligence. The possibility of correcting it solely through massage is very small.
