The first step you can take to help your child is to facilitate early diagnosis and assessment. It’s important to recognize your child’s condition and take positive action in a timely fashion. This is crucial to enable the effective treatment of both torticollis and cranial deformities. While a pediatrician’s visual assessment can be a good starting point, a conclusive diagnosis can only be achieved with a professional scan of your baby’s head. As in many conditions, treating torticollis, plagiocephaly, and related conditions as early on as possible increases the effectiveness of treatment and can reduce the duration of treatment time.
