Torticollis and Flat Head Support
Torticollis shows up as a tight preference for turning the head to one side, which can also contribute to a flattened area on the skull (plagiocephaly) from consistent pressure on one spot.
What Causes It
Torticollis can develop from positioning in the womb, the birth process itself, or a baby's early head preferences after birth. It's common, and often responds well to consistent, gentle attention early on.
A Gentle, Nervous System Focused Approach
We start with an INSiGHT nervous system scan built for infants, then often use the Torque Release Technique to gently support your baby's nervous system and range of motion.
Working Alongside Other Providers
We're glad to coordinate with your pediatrician or physical therapist as part of your baby's overall care plan.
This is one part of our broader pediatric chiropractic care, built around your child's nervous system as a whole.
