Head Tilt Months after Graduation

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I have a question regarding a funny tilt in my son's head, and I was hoping

someone could help me. He's now 13 months, and after wearing a DOC Band for 2.5

months for plagio, he graduated last September. A cuple of weeks ago he started

titilng his head towards the right, which he does momentarily and with a slow

paced movement. He does this several times a day.

It might be a coincidence but when we had his assesment at CT in Paramus, they

found out that the right side of his neck was tight, and we were stretching it

for as long as the treatment went on. I told my son's pediatrician about this

yesterday, thinking that his neck/shoulder might be the tight again... The

doctor said that it's probably just a little tic that will go away in time, but

if it becomes very frequent we might considering seeing a neurologist. I was

wondering if anyone in the group might have any experience with movements like

this, and if you have any tips to help correct them.

Thank you very much.
