KST A to Z
Infant torticollis
Kevin Ross, DC
Tempe, Arizona
A two-month-old baby has been on Zantac for a month for 'reflux' and was fussy all the time. He also had a head tilt diagnosed as 'torticollis.'
I found a right lateral atlas, anterior right talus (baby immediately relaxed) and an ileocecal valve that needed adjustment counterclockwise.
On the next visit, the mom said, "We have a new baby." She stopped the meds on the day of the first adjustment. The baby has no symptoms, is nursing well and his head is upright with a normal range of motion.
