Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Torticollis And Plagiocephaly Treatment.

Torticollis often results from shortened neck muscles, birth positioning, or in-utero constraint; plagiocephaly develops from prolonged pressure on one part of the skull. Early evaluation allows gentle chiropractic adjustments, stretches, and positioning strategies to correct function and shape.

We recommend evaluation as soon as torticollis or flattening is noticed, ideally within the first weeks to months. Early, gentle treatment improves outcomes and may shorten care length. Plans are individualized and coordinated with your pediatrician for safety.
