Congenital Muscular Torticollis

Torticollis

Each year about two percent of newborns are born with congenital torticollis. Torticollis, also known as wry neck, is commonly thought to occur from trauma during the birth process. The characteristic twisted or tilted neck impairs normal growth and development.

Surgery has been the traditional treatment, actually cutting neck muscles, nerves and tendons, followed by intensive physical therapy.

Successful correction of torticollis by means of chiropractic care for has been documented in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics.

A series of chiropractic adjustments, trigger point therapy, stretches, pillow positioning and exercises were administered. The results? In a word: excellent. Without drugs or surgery.

Clearly, chiropractic care can be helpful to the health and maintenance of your child's spine and nervous system.

Dr. Mike Asks some important questions of interest to Omro residents - Chiropractor Omro Dr. Mike Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Omro folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Where do most Omro residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Omro newborn.
