Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 MY SON HAS RECENLTY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A MILD TORTICOLLIS - WE ARE NOW SEEING A PHYSIOTHERAPIST FOR STRETCHES AND A CHIROPRACTOR TO ASSIST AS WELL. ALSO SUGGESTED TO US WAS CRANIAL SACRAL MASSAGE......THE EXERCISES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TORTICOLLIS TO IMPROVE AS IT HAS RESULTED IN SOME FLATNESS ON THE RIGHT BACK SIDE OF HIS HEAD......I HAVE BOUGHT SO MANY POSITIONERS AND NONE OF THEM WORK!!! HE IS 6.5 MONTHS ALMOST 7 SO HE MOVES ALLOT AND DOESN'T STAY WHERE I LEAVE HIM - HE WRIGGLES AND SQUIRMS HIS WAY OUT OF EVERYTHING....PLEASE WHAT CAN I USE TO KEEP HIS HEAD TURNED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE/????? THE BACK IS NOW SEEING SOME FLATTENING AS WELL......ANY IDEAS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FROM ANYONE.....i HAVE TRIED MOVING HIM IN THE CRIB AND PUTTING TOYS ETC., AND NOTHING HAS WORKED YET - HE ALSO SUCKS HIS THUMB ON THIS SIDE AS WELL WHICH MAKES MATTERS MORE DIFFICULT....WON'T TAKE A PACI. ALSO, IF YOUR CHILDS CONDITION IS CONSIDERED MILD AND NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR THE HELMET CAN YOU STILL GET ONE AND CHOOSE YOURSELF.......I DON'T SEE WHY YOU COULDN'T? IT ISN'T COVERED AND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT....KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ANYHOW, ANYTHING ANYONE COULD GIVE ME WOULD BE GREAT!
