Pediatric Torticollis Treatment in St. George, Utah
Specialized Care for Infants with Torticollis
At Crux Sport & Spine, we specialize in treating congenital muscular torticollis, a condition commonly seen in newborns that affects neck posture and movement. Torticollis often results from tight neck muscles, limiting the infant's ability to turn their head in certain directions. This restricted movement can cause feeding difficulties and discomfort for the baby.
Understanding the Causes and Impact of Torticollis
Torticollis may arise from factors such as abnormal positioning in the womb or birth-related muscle trauma. The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, which controls neck rotation, often becomes tight, reducing the range of motion and creating muscle imbalances. If left untreated, this condition can lead to head flattening, facial asymmetry, and even scoliosis. Identifying and addressing torticollis early is crucial for preventing long-term complications.
Our Treatment Approach: Relieve Discomfort and Restore Neck Function
Our primary goal is to reduce muscle tightness, improve neck mobility, and restore proper head posture. By addressing the root cause of torticollis, we aim to prevent complications and enhance your infant’s quality of life. Our specialized treatment plan includes gentle, targeted techniques to alleviate discomfort and improve head movement. Typically, significant improvements in neck mobility can be seen within a few weeks, though longer treatment may be necessary for lasting results.
