Re: questions about torticollis

[Guest guest]

Go to www.caps2000.org and read about everything you would have

questions about.

There are alot of variable with this

condition,mild ,moderate,severe. Your child will be mild and with PT

you should get a full recovery in time.

The effects of Torticollis for my daugfhter are her head is

misshaped because she could only sleep in one position since birth.

She wore a cranial helmet to try to remold her head roung again.

I think another effect she has is a distorted view from the

persistant tilt that wont go away. On the whole though she has had

alot of improvement since birth, I would like perfection but I'm

happy with what weve got It could be alot worse.
