Torticollis
What is Torticollis?
Torticollis is fairly common in newborns. Boys and girls are equally likely to develop the head tilt. It can be present at birth or take up to 3 months to happen. In newborns, torticollis can happen due to the baby's position in the womb or after a difficult childbirth. This is called infant torticollis or congenital muscular torticollis. Torticollis causes the baby to have a neck tilt and tight neck muscles. This can be corrected with physical therapy.
