What is Torticollis?
Torticollis, also known as “twisted neck” or “wry neck”, is a condition where an infant’s neck muscles become tight, making it difficult for them to turn their head. This can lead to flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly), neck stiffness, and asymmetrical facial features if left untreated.
Common Signs of Torticollis in Babies:
✔️ Head tilted to one side
✔️ Difficulty turning their head in both directions
✔️ Flat spot on one side of the head (Plagiocephaly)
✔️ Preferring to look in only one direction
✔️ Uneven facial features or head shape
✔️ Trouble breastfeeding on one side
🚨 If you notice these signs, early intervention is crucial!
