Opioid Exposure in Utero can Result in Torticollis

Image
A Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center study shows that Opioid-exposed babies may get head tilt from a neck condition. Infants exposed to opioids during pregnancy have been found to develop torticollis, an abnormal neck condition. Sometimes it's accompanied with plagiocephaly, flattening of the head. Children born under these conditions are said to have neonatal abstinence syndrome which is due to opioid exposure in utero. Physical Therapy has been successful for these babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. Luckily babies born with this condition in the White Plains area have Wendy Kaplan-Lager, PT, C/NDT of Physical Therapy 4 Kids to treat them. Ms. Kaplan-Lager is very familiar with torticollis and plagiocephaly. She is an expert when it comes to physical therapy for children. Contact Ms. Kaplan-Lager with any concerns you may have about your infant. Physical Therapy 4 Kids White Plains, NY 914-421-9392 #physica
