My child just recently started tilting and showing signs of what his pediatrician thinks may be Torticollis. Does Torticollis always start at birth, or is it possible that it could start later?
Congenital Torticollis is present at birth (but not all cases are diagnosed at birth). Acquired Torticollis developes later in life, and there may or may not be an underlying cause for it. Torticollis can sometimes happen after an infection, taking certain medications, neck injury, the list goes on. It doesnt always immediately start at birth.
