EP. 32: Torticollis: Why It’s More Than Just a Tight Muscle

Your baby favors one side. You've been told it's just a tight muscle—do some stretches, try tummy time, wait it out. In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz discuss how a stressed-out nervous system impacts babies with torticollis. Through real patient stories, they reveal why pediatric PT alone often isn't enough—babies who had their muscles balanced still couldn't roll both sides, crawl, or sleep well. The root cause? Nervous system stress and subluxation keeping those muscles contracted. Learn how birth interventions create upper neck stress, why torticollis and constipation are the same issue, and what makes neurologically-focused chiropractic different. You don't have to choose between painful stretches and nothing—there's a third option that works with your baby's nervous system.
