[QUOTE="Carrie, post: 36121, member: 361"] Hi Joe, Tortiticollosis in human babies is a congenital muscular abnormality and the exact cause is somewhat of a mystery, though many infants born with this have experienced difficult deliveries. For whatever reason, one of the sternocleidomastiod muscles developes a contracture (shortening) and as a result, the neck becomes tilted toward the affected side. Gentle daily stretching of the muscle corrects this probelm in 90% of childeren by their first birthday. Surgical intervention is used for more resistant cases. Early, frequent and gentle stretching are key as young muscles seem to respond more readily. You might also check the calf's hips as 1/4 of human babies born with torticollosis also have congenital dislocation of one or both hips. Don't know if this works the same way in bovine babies, but maybe this will help. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
