As a parent, when you’re told your baby has something called torticollis, it can often leave you feeling helpless and unsure where to turn. As a certified pediatric chiropractor, specializing in infant care, we empathize with the challenges and uncertainties that come with a torticollis diagnosis. In this blog, we aim to empower parents with the knowledge and understanding they need to navigate this journey successfully.
Let’s delve into John’s story, a resilient little one worse early life was marked by the impact of torticollis. Traditional treatments proved insufficient, leaving his mom desperate for a solution. It was during a late-night research session that John’s mom discovered the transformative effects of chiropractic care tailored for pediatric cases.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in torticollis cases due to rising birth interventions. Unfortunately, traditional medical approaches often fall short in understanding the root causes and effective treatments. Birth trauma, resulting from interventions like forceps delivery, vacuum extraction, and C-sections, can subject the baby’s delicate neck and head to undue strain. It’s crucial not to overlook your child’s challenges.
Unresolved torticollis in your child can also elevate the risk of ear infections. Tight muscles in the upper neck region affect the Eustachian tube, leading to fluid buildup and bacterial growth. This connection extends to respiratory issues, including croup, chronic cough, and RSV, as torticollis hampers your baby’s body’s ability to drain fluid and move secretions.
In simpler terms, the more severe the torticollis, the more pronounced these subluxation patterns become, affecting your child’s development, temperament, and overall well-being.
Pediatricians, while skilled at physical exams, may lack the specialized training to detect subtle neuromuscular challenges such as torticollis. Traditional paths of referral to physical therapy and helmets often fall short, with reported discomfort and limited effectiveness in many cases.
Parents are increasingly turning to Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic for a natural and effective approach that addresses the root cause. Our three-step methodology involves:
In fact, making Pediatric Chiropractic the foundation for your child’s torticollis makes physical therapy stretches and positioning more effective. We love collaborating with your child’s therapy team for maximum results!
