What are the characteristics of congenital torticollis? What should I do if my child is born with to

1. The most striking feature is that there will be a very hard muscle, tendon or hard lump in the front of the neck on the left or right. Yes, there is one side and the other side does not.

2. The second is that the baby habitually tilts his head to the side with the problem, and when the baby is attracted to the other side, he will feel that the rotation angle is not large, or he will feel that the baby is difficult to turn to the other side.

There is also a condition of congenital torticollis that is not very serious. There may not be obvious lumps or hard muscles on one side of the neck, but if you look closely, the baby will turn his head to both sides, and there will be a different angle on the left and right. This situation is still relatively common.

Babies like this will cry more easily and have rashes on their bodies.

1. The first principle is that you must not vigorously rub the hard tendons or hard lumps on your neck.

Because the bones of children, especially babies, will be much, much softer than everyone thinks, really unimaginably soft.

For example, because my teachers have clinically found that many children grow up with O-shaped legs and valgus feet, which is caused by the diaper wrap is too tight, which leads to tail barbs. This means that with a little force, a child's bones may be displaced. Therefore, it is absolutely not possible to rub vigorously.

I know that some of them don't work at all with massage, but I guess it's related to too much force.

Because the baby's bones are too soft, if the clavicle ribs are crushed or misaligned with too much force, the muscles will proliferate more fibrous tissue to maintain the stability of the body structure. This is a self-help mechanism of the body, just like a knife scar, scar hyperplasia is to reinforce**.

When the bones are displaced, the body grows fibrous tissue to maintain the stability of the bones, and does not let the bones go to a more remote position, which is to maintain the stability of the body structure.

So it's likely that if you press harder, the more you press, the more damage will be, the more hyperplasia, and the harder your muscles will be.

2. The second principle is that if you massage by yourself, try to do it at a safe remote end.

As mentioned above, thenar massage can be **. From an injury point of view, because the fascia and muscles in the hand are actually connected all the way to the sternocleidomastoid muscle to the pectoralis major muscle. This is the principle of the effect of pushing small ichthagons mentioned above.

If the hand is loosened, slowly the neck will also be loosened. And it's safe on your hands. Therefore, the massage of the distal and extremities can be carried out, but again, you must pay attention to the strength.

Basically, massaging the baby does not require strength, and it will already have an effect if it is very light and light.

For some very serious cases, we recommend that you still treat them to a reliable doctor, after all, they will be more experienced.

Congenital torticollis refers to the patient's neck tilted to one side after birth, the patient's neck may also appear a lump, and even cause facial asymmetry symptoms, you can properly massage the lump part of the hot compress, can promote the absorption of the lump, improve the situation of torticollis, can also continue to turn the patient's head repeatedly, so that the head is in the head and neck correction position, moderately pull the head to the healthy side, and you can also choose to use objects to fix the head when sleeping, which can help recovery.

There is a lump in the neck, facial asymmetry, cervical vertebrae are deformed; Hot compresses, surgery**, training.

My child also has a tilted neck in my usual life, and he will cry out in pain from time to time. We still have to take him to the hospital in time to do the corresponding **.

There are generally two methods for pediatric congenital torticollis, one is through surgery, and the other is through training. If the condition is not particularly severe, there is no need for surgery**, which can be slowly corrected by wearing some**everything. However, if the condition is severe, it will be carried out through surgery.

Congenital torticollis is divided into two types: surgical and non-surgical. Surgery is mainly for bone-derived torticollis caused by skeletal development deformity, and the surgical method is divided into four types according to the different conditions of the child's torticollis, which requires the child to choose after the specific examination of the orthopedic surgeon, and after the operation, congenital torticollis can be **. Non-surgical** is mainly for myogenic torticollis, and non-surgical ** methods include manual massage and manual traction, which can be used by reasonable ** most of the children within one year of age**.

Manual massage and freehand traction should be operated under the guidance of an experienced doctor, and the massage should be insisted on every day, and the massage time should be about 10-15 minutes each time.

I think that if congenital torticollis occurs, I should go to the hospital**, and there are many people around me who have passed through experts in big hospitals**, and finally eliminated this problem.

Congenital torticollis has been scientifically studied**, and most of them can**.

If the patient is an infant under one year old, it is mainly carried out conservatively, such as manual plate correction, massage massage, etc. Avoid tilting the head to one side while the child sleeps, and can be corrected by placing a sandbag on the affected side, and the mother should adjust the position when breastfeeding the infant and toddler.

If the torticollis is severe and the child is older than one year of age, surgery should be considered**. Local anesthesia is usually required during surgery, and then a small incision is made in the clavicle to cut off the shortened muscles to fully relieve the muscles of the neck and to secure the neck with a cervical collar after surgery, which can be removed after six to eight weeks.

Suggestion: Congenital muscular torticollis is a fibrous contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side, resulting in a deformity in which the neck and head and face deviate to the affected side. After the neonate is diagnosed with muscular torticollis, the neonate is passively pulled every day, and the head is moderately pulled to the unaffected side, several times a day, 10-15 times each time.

It should be fixed with a sand pillow during sleep. As the child grows, the force of manual correction increases, the occipital part is rotated to the unaffected side, the lower jaw is turned to the affected side, and the correction is done several times a day, and most of the results can be satisfactory. For children aged about 2 years old, a transverse incision is generally made at the proximal end of the clavicle, and for children aged 1-4 years old, if the disease is mild, only the clavicle head and sternal head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle are severed, and the orthopedic neck brace is used to maintain and skip the corrective position after surgery, and the child's lower jaw is often rotated to the affected side and the occipital part is rotated to the healthy side.

For patients over 4 years old with severe torticollis, sternocleidomastoid muscle dissection at both ends of the upper and lower ends can be performed. In general, the results of the surgery are good!

Congenital torticollis can be completely cured with acquired training and surgery**.

It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. See what caused it, and the doctor will give an opinion.
