Does your baby have torticollis?

Question

My son has been going to physio for his torticollis and we do the exercises at home every day multiple times a day. He hates it and I feel so bad! I have noticed a small improvement, it's only been a few weeks so far. He is not able to turn all the way to the right or roll on to that side which has caused him to favour his left side, which has caused a bad flat spot as well (that we have a follow up appointment for). Anyone in the same boat?

Answer

By baby had it a few months ago. We did the exercises every day all the time at home and he would cry and scream like we were hurting him. It might have hurt a little bit ..but like bloody murder, face turning red screaming. It helped him though. He is completely fine now.

Answer

My daughter was diagnosed with torticollis when she was 4 months old and had to go to PT every two weeks. It started to get noticably better when she started walking. She graduated from PT when she was about 18 months old. Having to take her to appointments and do the uncomfortable stretches with her was definitely not fun, but it was important to make sure it didn't worsen into more serious issues later in life.

Answer

I was in the same boat 1 year ago. My baby had it diagnosed at like 1 month old. He started doing therapy at 2 months till he was 10 months. It helped a lil. But he also had to have a helmet for 3 months and 1 shot in his neck at about 9 months old. That was what helped the torticollis. He is almost 2 now and you can not tell he ever had a problem with his neck. Good luck!
