What Causes Scoliosis Among Babies?

              What Causes Scoliosis Among Babies? Congenital scoliosis is a rare form of scoliosis that is presented as a defect at birth. The most common signs of congenital scoliosis are hemivertebra or unilateral bar.  A hemivertebra is when the spinal bone doesn’t develop adequately. A unilateral bar is when bones in your spine don't separate. Congenital scoliosis can also cause defects in other parts of the body, possibly leading to cardiac or other spinal abnormalities. It is vital for children with congenital scoliosis to get yearly screenings. It is also one of the hardest forms of scoliosis to diagnose.  It is often difficult to see any spinal imperfections until a child reaches the toddler age.

Plagiocephaly and Torticollis

The Relationship between Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. Stretches and Manipulation To understand the relationship between plagiocephaly and torticollis you need to know what each of them is. Babies can be born with both conditions. Sometimes one can cause the other and vice versa. Plagiocephaly presents itself with an asymmetrically shaped head, one side being more flat than the other side. Torticollis is a shortened neck muscle causing a head tilt. This shortened neck muscle comes from a small knot in the muscle fibres which can be worked out with the stretches and manipulation of Physical Therapy . The physical limitations of Torticollis develops Plagiocephaly. The good news is that Physical Therapy 4 Kids is ready to help your infant in the White Plains, West Chester area of NY.
