Chiropractic Care for Torticollis and Head Tilts in Bozeman MT
Relieve Neck Tightness, Restore Balance, and Support Long-Term Healing
At Wellness Montana, we specialize in identifying and treating musculoskeletal issues that affect alignment, posture, and nerve function. One common condition we treat in both children and adults is torticollis, often recognized by a consistent head tilt or restricted neck movement. If you or your child are struggling with these symptoms, chiropractic care may provide the relief and correction you need.
What Is Torticollis?
Torticollis, also known as “wry neck,” occurs when the muscles of the neck are abnormally tight or imbalanced, causing the head to tilt to one side. This condition may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life due to poor posture, trauma, spinal misalignments, or muscle strain.
Common signs of torticollis include:
- Head consistently tilted to one side
- Limited range of motion in the neck
- Neck or shoulder pain
- Headaches
- Uneven shoulder or facial appearance (in long-standing cases)
- Irritability or discomfort in infants when lying flat or turning the head
How Chiropractic Can Help
At Wellness Montana, our chiropractor uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to identify the root cause of the misalignment or muscle tightness contributing to torticollis or head tilts. Whether the condition is congenital, postural, or injury-related, chiropractic care aims to restore normal motion, reduce tension, and support proper spinal and muscular development.
Our approach includes:
- Spinal and cervical adjustments to correct misalignments affecting the neck and upper back
- Soft tissue techniques to release tight muscles and restore balance
- Postural and movement assessments to address contributing habits or biomechanical issues
- At-home guidance including stretches, exercises, and positioning techniques—especially for infants
Pediatric Chiropractic for Infant Torticollis
Infants with torticollis often benefit from early chiropractic intervention. In many cases, the condition is linked to birth trauma or positioning in the womb. Gentle pediatric adjustments and soft tissue work can help release muscular tension, encourage better head mobility, and support symmetrical development.
Parents are often relieved to see improvements in:
- Head positioning during sleep and tummy time
- Breastfeeding challenges (when related to neck discomfort or latch issues)
- Overall comfort and reduced fussiness
