What is a child torticollis?

Children's torticollis is a common neck disease in children.

The etiology of children's torticollis is more complex, which may be related to birth injury, fetal position error, genetic factors. For example, during childbirth, the neck of the fetus may be excessively pulled and damaged. The patient's main manifestation is that the head tilts to one side, the neck can touch the lump, and the child may be restricted in turning his head and other activities. As the disease progresses, facial asymmetry may occur.

For early detection of children, conservative methods such as massage, hot compress, and posture correction are often used. If conservative treatment is not effective or the condition is serious, surgery should be considered. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining correct posture, regular rehabilitation training, and parents should closely observe the changes in the child's condition.
