Congenital Deformities

Congenital muscular torticollis, in layman’s language, means an infant is born with a twisted neck. The chin points to one shoulder; the head tilts to the other. This occurs when one of a child’s neck muscles – the sternocleidomastoid – is short, causing the head to angle to one side. Experts do not know why this happens. Fortunately, 90 percent of these cases can be treated through exercise. Contact us for more detail.
