torticollis-wry-neck-or-loxiaThe Torticollis Clinic at St. Louis Children's Hospital provides treatment for mild to severe cases of congenital (present at birth) muscular torticollis. This condition results when an infant's neck muscle is shortened, causing the neck to twist. Although some extremely mild cases may resolve on their own, most need some type of treatment.

In this segment, Dr Matthew Dobbs, a Washington University pediatric orthopedic surgeon at St. Louis Children's Hospital, discusses Torticollis (Wry Neck or Loxia) and when to refer to a specialist.
