Patient's question:
I recently noticed that when my baby is crawling, his head is always tilted to one side. I searched online and found that it's due to infant torticollis, which can be corrected through self-massage at home. I'd like to ask how long it takes for the baby's torticollis to recover with massage therapy?Doctor's answer:
Many muscular neck deviations require surgical treatment. However, massage therapy is not particularly effective. Currently, massage is effective and can be continuous without interruption because the infant still needs a very long time for surgery. Currently, if massage can be effective, surgery can be avoided. Massage does not cause pain. It mainly involves friction and horizontal sliding. Do not massage yourself because you cannot control the and frequency of the massage.
