Botox for Torticollis?/New DOC Band

[Guest guest]

Hello -

My 5.5 month old son got the imaging done for a DOC band today, and I'm

concerned that his torticollis will not be sufficiently improved before putting

the band on him in two weeks. Our PT suggested that the additional weight of

the band can sometimes worsen the torticollis tilt. He's been in PT for 2.5

months, but I suspect that he is not getting stretched as much as he should

during the days when my husband and I are at work.

Can anyone speak to the PT's concern about the weight of the band? I held one

at the consultation appointment and it seemed very light to me, but I'd love to

know more from folks who've gone through it.

Also, has anyone gone the Botox route for torticollis? I'm having a hard time

finding any detailed information on it - when it's used, success rates,

complications, etc. Any stories or resources would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance for the help - I'm getting really anxious about the band after

his appointment this morning.
