Torticollis not improving-help

[Guest guest]

Good day to all.

My daughter was born with tort on the left and then got plagio on

right side of head from it. She is 9 months (diag very late) and has

had PT for 4 wks now and a Cranio Cap x 3wks. Her tort does not seem

to be improving at all. We go to PT every other wk and she does

exercises every day (which she fights tooth and nail). The PT thinks

her head " tilt " is getting better but the range of motion is not.

She still sleeps on her right side ALL the time. I am concerned that

she will not have her tort resolved before she is out of helmet and

all our effort will be down the drain. I voiced my concerns at her

last PT apt but felt I was just put off. I will ask again this wk

and demand a better plan but until then-

Has anyon else had similar problems? Does there come a point where

they do surgery or something? Help!

Thanx

Ann
