Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 This is a response I got from a chiropractor. Check out her book New Dawn Publishing . A retired chiropractor called me about our article in the local paper and she also attended one of her seminars. This is her response to me about our story and I thought many of you would be interested in her comments. I'll ask her to send me her copy of her case. Always something to learn! Tammy & 12/8/99 Hi Tammy, I'm so proud of you for getting your little guy the treatment he deserves rather than just sitting back and letting the pediatrician ignore your concerns. Torticollis will sometimes resolve on its own---by curving the spine permanently. You are preventing that from happening! You were so very smart to get craniosacral therapy started - that was the most important thing you could have done. Now, my question is, Did your therapist address the repiratory diaphragm at each visit? It's imperative that the diaphragm be fully released to allow the occiput to free up. There also is a stretch of the whole spine that must be done because the problem is not just the head--it's everything. He was oblique inutero. I don't have anything on the internet yet but I have published a case just like his in the textbook Pediatric Chiropractic. Send me your address and I'll send you a copy of that section. The reason the DOC band didn't work as well for him as it does for kids who have a flat occiput from being placed directly on their back (exclusively) is because his is an inutero problem. The band can sometimes make it worse in their case. I teach about this all the time and have worked successfully on many cases but it requires a full complement of craniosacral therapy, myofascial work and chiropractic adjustments. If your therapist feels that the diaphragm is not their expertise have him/her give me call. I have just published a book that will help you with the next pregnancy and I've begun work on the second book that will address cases just like . I will have a whole section on torticollis for parents just like yourself. It may take me years with my schedule (this one took 8 years to complete). Joan's husband did the layout work on it so she may have told you. Check it out on the internet www.newdawnpublish.com. Read that book (especially Step 4) before you have another pregnancy. Good luck and keep up the good parenting!!! Dr. Carol P.
