Hi everyone! My 2.5 month old daughter was diagnosed with positional
left side posterior plagiocephaly at her 2 month appointment and mild
torticollis. The ped is sending us to see a physical therapist
tomorrow for a torticollis eval, anyone know what we should expect
out of that meeting?
My ped is fairly conservative about the plagio and keeps telling me
that no one has the perfect head shape and everyone is a bit
asymetrical but it just doesn't sit well with me. My daughter's
plagio, while not shockingly obvious is messing with her facial
features by shoving her ear forward, her cheek on the flat side is
rounder and sticks out more and even the eye sockets seem different
to me. After getting the dx, it did not feel comfortable to me to
just sit around for 2 more months and see what happens so I called
the STARband orthoist in our area to ask him for specialist names
that I could go to. He was shocked to learn that the ped had dx her
but not taken any measurements so he offered to measure her himself
tomorrow to see where she falls on the mild to severe spectrum and if
she would even be a candidate for a band. I am going to predict that
she will fall into the low end of moderate since it is messing with
her facial features...
Is there anything else that I need to do or people I should contact
to get this started?
