Why Does Torticollis Occur?
No one is certain as to why this problem occurs in some infants. Some people think torticollis occurs during delivery while others think it occurs while the child is developing in the womb. It is more common in first-born children and one in five children with torticollis also have developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). If your child has torticollis, be sure that his or her hips are examined as well.
