Hi
I have had some success with babies presenting with Wikipedia reference-linktorticollis. One lass was seen at about 5 months of age, and is now 11, and only just reporting some mild neck stiffness on the original torticollis side. The condition occcurs due to the babies position in utero. I treated her as a baby, by firm massage, and sustained stretching, plus taught the parents to do the same. No traction. I have not had to treat her as an 11 year old, but may catch up with her soon.
The treatment is simple but effective. Obviously other risk factors must be excluded prior to treatment initiation, but that is what assessment is all about!
