Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 Our son had Botox injections to help his tort. He had his greatest improvement in his plagio after the botox. His measurements improved by 4mm in 2 months. I would recommend botox injections, coupled with PT. We had excellent results. Sam, at 8 months, was only 4 months old developmentally. When he completed his therapy he graded at 16 months developmentaly at 14.5 months old. Had he not made the improvement both developmentally and in the measurements, surgery would have been required. Take care, and Sam banded 8/00 to 4/01 > In a message dated 5/7/01 1:41:52 PM Pacific Daylight Time, oughton@a... > writes: > > > > When you take the band off do you notice that the tort is worse.
