What causes a crooked neck? What causes a crooked neck?

There are many reasons for a "crooked neck", in general, there are the following:

The first congenital "muscular torticollis" is the most common cause of "crooked neck" in children.

Due to the traction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the neck is skewed, the head is tilted to the affected side, and the jaw is turned to the unaffected side, forming a special "crooked neck" posture deformity. If the infancy period is not reasonable**, the deformity gradually worsens with age, and its efficacy decreases, which has adverse effects on the child's body and mind. Therefore, early detection and early detection are crucial.

The second common cause of "crooked neck" is "ocular torticollis".

In other words, a "crooked neck" due to eye disease. Many causes of eye diseases in childhood can lead to "crooked neck", such as severe amblyopia, myopia, farsightedness, "strabismus" caused by congenital hypoplasia of the upper palpebral muscle, etc. We must attach great importance to children's eye diseases, such as children's amblyopia, myopia, and farsightedness, most of which can be achieved through glasses and corrected "crooked neck".

And some diseases, such as congenital epiphasis of the upper palpebral muscle, must be surgically able to "strabismus", and fundamentally cure the "ophthalmopathic torticollis".

The third type is "bony torticollis" due to cervical spine dysplasia

Congenital cervical spine development disorders, such as hemivertebral deformities, can lead to curvature of the cervical spine, resulting in a "crooked neck" deformity. This deformity is rare and progressively worsens with age. Surgery is the only method, and generally speaking, the earlier the surgery, the better the results.

The fourth cause of "crooked neck" in children is "auricular torticollis".

In other words, it is caused by ear disorders in children. There are causes in childhood that can cause hearing loss in one ear, leading to the "crooked neck" symptom. Such as unilateral congenital deafness, hearing loss due to medication, etc.

These are the four causes of "crooked neck" disease in children, and there are also some conditions that can cause the above symptoms, such as benign paroxysmal torticollis in infants, the cause is unknown, but the prognosis is good.

Trauma, colds, medications, etc.

1. Stiff neck. Stiff neck is caused by the neck tendon being twisted when sleeping, this is relatively easy to solve, for long-term stiff neck can try to change to a pillow with the opposite hardness and softness.

2. The head is crooked in one direction for a long time, and if the time is too long, it will also form a crooked neck. Of course, this is formed by engaging in the same action for a long time.

3. Congenital torticollis disease. If it is congenital, please go to the hospital as soon as possible**.

4. Exercise the flexibility of the neck in the rest of the time, avoid overwork for a long time, and exercise reasonably to prevent artificial crooked neck.

5. For the crooked neck caused by frequent stiff neck, we must pay attention to it, check whether it is because of the pillow, if it is a hard pillow, the pillow should not be too high, the height of the pillow should be equal to the height of its own fist, if it is a soft pillow, you can put the pillow obliquely under the neck to sleep try.

Caused by maintaining an incorrect posture for a long time.

Congenital:

Some babies are born with neck muscles injured, which mostly occurs in the case of abnormal fetal position, and the neck muscles are strained, resulting in muscle atrophy and shortening.

Sleep with your neck crooked:

Children are at the beginning of their growth, and sleeping with their necks tilted will cause the neck muscles to form a wrong growth trend, so young mothers should pay special attention to their children's sleeping position.

If the disease is conservative in infancy**, the vast majority can**.

Four factors can cause a "crooked neck".

Pediatric torticollis, medically known as congenital muscular torticollis (commonly known as "crooked neck"), is caused by a fibrous contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side, resulting in shortening, neck deviation to one side, and facial development is affected, which is smaller than that of the opposite side. The earlier the disease**, the better the effect. Conservative** is used in infancy, and most outcomes are satisfactory.

After 1 year of age, surgery should be performed if conservatively** is ineffective**. It is generally believed that after the age of 3 years, it is difficult for facial deformities to fully return to normal.

There are probably four reasons for the occurrence of the disease:

1. The fetus is injured during childbirth, and one side of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is bleeding due to birth injury, forming a hematoma and then organizing, followed by contracture;

2. Abnormal intrauterine fetal position, so that the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side of the fetus is subjected to 3. Excessive pressure, resulting in ischemia, followed by excessive degeneration, replaced by fibrous connective tissue;

4. Aseptic inflammation caused by birth trauma, resulting in muscle degeneration.

Crooked neck" disease should be done as soon as possible**.

Before 3 months of age, simple methods can be corrected, including correct sleeping and holding positions, topical warm compresses, and simple massage.

Before the age of 6 months, it is relatively easy to correct torticollis massage in a professional ** center.

Once these two periods are missed, the corrective effect is greatly diminished.

There are congenital and acquired, and acquired posture is mainly caused by poor sitting and standing posture, incorrect walking posture, etc.

It may be caused by stiff neck, or it may be caused by the irregular movement of the neck.

May be congenital. The day after tomorrow is long-term. A posture is caused.
