Is torticollis easy to treat? Is torticollis a good treatment?

Torticollis is usually the best and is usually treated with traditional medical methods such as topical compresses, manipulation or technical traction bands.

If the torticollis is not serious, most of them can be conservative, such as acupuncture and massage, local hot compresses, and massage. For patients with very severe torticollis, if there is a change in facial expression and the head is tilted to one side, it is difficult to improve and surgery is required**, and the clinical symptoms of torticollis can be improved by cutting off the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

The effect of torticollis needs to be determined according to the age of the patient, if it is a child under one year old, it can generally be cured, and if it is a child over one year old, the effect will be worse. The detection of torticollis requires early **.

The main manual correction is in the period**, especially after the diagnosis of the newborn, it can be gentle, massage, hot compress every day, and passive manual traction. Surgery** is suitable for children over one year of age, and an incision is made at the upper transverse finger of the proximal clavicle to cut the clavicle and sternal head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
