Left-sided trapezius should be treated with non-surgical or surgical treatments such as massage therapy, medication, manipulation and immobilization for different types and ages.
1. Non-surgical treatment: applicable to infants and children with myotonic cervical strabismus within 1 year of age. Mild massage and hot compresses on the left side of the neck, moderate pulling of the head to the right side several times a day, and immobilization of the head in the corrective position during sleep can achieve better results.
2. Surgery: If the above conservative treatment is ineffective and the child is more than 1 year old, surgery is feasible, and the best age for surgery is 1 year old. Generally, sternocleidomastoid muscle amputation is performed, and the corrective head, neck and chest brace is worn for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
In addition, for adults with spasmodic cervical strabismus, which is related to muscle spasms, professionals can give acupuncture, massage and other ways to loosen the local muscle spasms, and can also give medications to relieve muscle spasms, such as epirubicin and other drugs.

Parents should bring the baby to the hospital in time after the discovery, after a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, and parents play a key role in the process of home treatment, not blindly handle and use of medication, in order to avoid delaying the condition.
