Torticollis Care in Kentwood
What is Pediatric Torticollis?
Torticollis, also called “wry neck,” is when a baby or child holds their head tilted or turned to one side due to tight or shortened neck muscles. You might notice one cheek appear flatter, or your child may always favor turning their head one way.
Signs That Torticollis May Be Present
- Head tilts or leans to one side
- Difficulty turning head fully in either direction
- Preference for looking or feeding on one side
- Flat spot on one side of the head (positional plagiocephaly)
- Fussiness when trying to turn or stretch neck
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Wilcox Family Chiropractic, we use gentle, pediatric-appropriate techniques (no forceful twisting) to help improve alignment, release tight muscles, and support better neck mobility. Because the neck connects to the central nervous system, improving motion can relieve tension and promote better overall function.
“We want to help your child’s body move freely and nervously communicate clearly—so development isn’t held back by a stiff neck,” says Dr. Wilcox-Davidson.
