Question
Can surgery be performed if a child is found to have a ‘wry neck’ at three months old?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, it mainly belongs to the manifestation of torticollis, primarily caused by trapezius muscle spasm. For treatment, you can first try pediatric massage therapy. If there is no improvement, surgical treatment can be considered. Moreover, in cases where severe pediatric bone deformities significantly affect a patient’s work, in addition to active treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily care. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, and more calcium-rich foods to avoid or reduce the chance of recurrence.
