Is your child or a child you know experiencing any of these warning signs?
- Torticollis: Torticollis, characterized by a head tilt or rotation, is a clear indicator that a child’s spine should be examined.
- Limited Range of Motion: If a child exhibits restricted movement in the neck, spine, or other areas, it may be a sign of underlying issues that require attention.
- Developmental Delays: Delays in achieving developmental milestones, such as crawling, walking, or sitting independently, may indicate spinal or muscular problems that need assessment and treatment.
- Postural Abnormalities: Persistent asymmetrical postures, uneven shoulder heights, or hip discrepancies in a child’s stance or gait can indicate potential spinal issues that should be addressed.
- Unexplained Pain or Discomfort: Children who consistently experience unexplained pain or discomfort, especially in the neck, back, or limbs, should be evaluated to determine if spinal factors contribute to their symptoms.
What is Torticollis? Torticollis is a condition that presents as a head tilt or rotation in newborns and young children. It often arises due to injuries sustained during the birth process, specifically affecting the muscles and spine. The muscles in the affected area become guarded, restricting proper movement and leading to sustained postures.
The Importance of Early Intervention: It is important to identify & intervene early! Discovering & treating pediatric spinal health issues EARLY can have significant benefits! Early treatment can help restore proper alignment, promote healthy muscle development, and optimize the functioning of the nervous system. By addressing these issues during the crucial growth stages, parents can support their child’s overall well-being, prevent further complications, and promote healthy physical and neurological development.
