Question
Can a newborn’s muscular torticollis heal on its own?
Answer
The baby was discovered to have muscular torticollis ten days after birth and is now four months old. The lump is almost gone, but can it heal on its own? Massage therapy can effectively improve muscular torticollis, but it requires the parents to be persistent. During the treatment process, parents can learn some basic massage techniques to promote the baby’s recovery by massaging reflex areas such as the head, neck, and spine, as well as related reflex areas. Although the treatment takes a long time, with persistence, the child’s torticollis problem can be improved.
