Torticollis & Plagiocephaly
Torticollis can occur when one side of a baby’s neck muscles get tight, which causes the child to prefer to look to one direction.
If left untreated, torticollis can lead to plagiocephaly, which occurs when a baby’s head flattens as a result of being placed in the same position over time.
