Pederick FO, Treatment of an infant with wry neck associated
with birth trauma: Case report, Chiropr J Aust Dec 2004;34(4):123-8.
Abstract: This paper describes the successful
treatment of an infant with wry neck associated with birth trauma using low
force, relatively long-duration cranial adjusting, and soft-tissue techniques
to the whole body with special attention to the cervical region, and parental
management of home care procedures. Wry neck, or congenital muscular torticollis
(CMT), has been a well - recognized condition for centuries. CMT is often associated
with plagiocephaly, which has long-term adverse effects on physical and mental
functions. A review of some of the literature relating to this condition is
provided.
