I have a patient who has been referred for a toriticollis device. He is a 4 month infant that seems to have some issues with his neck, but nothing that is tight. He has full range of motion with no tension, just favors his left side (like that is his center). He has developed postitional plagiocephaly because of how he lies in bed or the car seat. Nobody has determined if it is torticollis and the family just wants something done. I don't feel comfortable calling it one or the other. What treatment is available if you have both disorders to treat? Any questions or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
