What causes the tightness or shortening of the neck muscle? Some times a traumatic birth injury causes stretching and scaring of the neck muscle. Congenital infant torticollis can also be caused by babyâs position in the womb. Torticollis is more common in situations where there is lack of space in the womb. For example with multiple births or when there is little amniotic fluid.
