Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello everyone! I somehow came upon this group through a blog, and I am so glad to have found it. Our sweet girl, Mia (almost 9 months), has several issues - including Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. We moved late last year and left our fabulous pediatrician, and our new pediatrician really isn't proactive about any of her medical needs. Unfortunately, we don't really have time to find another one here (and we would need to travel at least an hour).. but I simply don't want to waste time if this can be corrected. She is in physical therapy (for this and other issues) and has been for quite some time, but even with positioning and stretches, her Torticollis is still apparent. Her head tilts down to the left, and the flatness on her head is mostly on the back right and toward the middle, clearly from having more pressure on that side over time because of developmental delays. Our pediatrician basically wrote it off as 'normal' these days due to the back to sleep campaign, and that it's more prevalent now, do more tummy time (does she not think we've tried that?), etc. She agrees that her head is mishapen, she just doesn't want to do anything about it (or anything else). Needless to say, that's not exactly helpful - but this is unfortunately how she approaches all of her issues. Anyway, my question is - has anyone's child dealt with both Torticollis and Plagiocephaly, both in a mild form? How did you treat it? And of course, if anyone lives in Georgia, please let me know!
