Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Torticollis is also known as wry neck. Here is the website for the torticollis kids website www.torticolliskids.org. It should explain torticollis pretty well. A helmet will not treat torticollis. It needs to be treated with Physical Thereapy among other things. If you have anymore questions please let me know. There is also another group for torticollis. Haylee > > > > > > Hi. New to group. My 8 month daughter is in her > > second DOC for > > > tort/plagio.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Dear Tamil, Yes Tummy time is good because the baby is off the flat spot. However, it will not fix the flat spot. She needs to be on the rounded side at night so that the growth will fill out the flat spot. Follow the repositioning tips you got from your last enquiry about repo. Also, I think the pinning of the small cushion or fabric roll to the back of your baby's pajamas would work well. Put it on the back of her shoulder on the side where her head is flat (right side?). The exercises for her torticollis are important. My daughter has tort and we do the exercises given to us by our physical therapist. You must stretch her chin over her left shoulder (if that is the stiffer side). She may cry and fight. Try to distract her with a noisy toy or something else she likes alot. Have someone else hold the toy to her left so she has to stretch there to see it, then hold her shoulders straight, and turn her head fully with your other hand. Do not persist if she is fighting you, but let go, take a break, and try again. If you persist when she fights, you only make her stronger in the wrong direction! If you would like to see pictures of this, let me know, I will send them to you directly.
