No child should have to grow up with a mishapen head, and endure the teasing and name calling by his/her peers, when treatment is available.Feb 22nd, 2013Someone from Hibbing, MN signed.

My daughter was also born with torticollis that went undiagnosed until 4 months of age. She had already developed plagiocephaly by then and wore a cranial remolding helmet from 5 months of age to almost 11 months. Despite aggressive and consistent PT, at 26 months, she is still struggling with persistent torticollis and she is now facing surgery in an attempt to overcome it. Awareness is crucial and I believe every parent should leave the hospital with information and warning signs of both torticollis and plagiocephaly.REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter was born with torticollis and developed plagiocephaly. She wore a starband (baby helmet) that cost us $1800.00 for 3 1/2 months 23 hrs a day. We have been doing therapy since she was 2 months old and we will have to continue this for some time. She will be one this week. She started crawling at 11 months and I'm told there most likely will be more delays. We may have to see a speech therapist in the near future. This has changed our lives and I'm sure she will have many challenges in her life because of this. It is important to increase awareness about these issues.REPORT COMMENTS
