    My son was not diagnosed until 8 months. Helmet and physical therapy started at 9 months. His head is better, but still mishapen. He finally graduated from therapy at age 3. Late crawling, walking etc due to the torticollis.

    My son was diagnosed with Plagiocephaly & Torticollis when he was 2 months old. That's when we started physical therapy. When he turned 5 months, he had gotten a helmet. Now he is 6 months old, still going to physical therapy. If I had known about this condition before, I would never have let it go this far. We need to spread awareness so other people know how to avoid this problems with their child(ren)!

    My child was diagnosed with severe plagiocephaly when he was two months old. We got a Doc Band helmet from Cranial Technology when he was 3 months. He is 6 months old and we are in our second helmet. We are still doing physical therapy on his neck for torticollis and it has been very hard traveling to Dallas TX every week for the helmet. This is a serious problem on the rise and it needs to be addressed to Congress.
