How To Treat Torticollis In Infants?
Recently took my 10 week old daughter (who is a twin) to doctor for routine check up. Doctor did not say anything about her head until I asked. her head is misshapen and she looks to one side, which from what i looked up is infant torticollis. Doctor did not diagnose her with this, but said to exercise her neck muscles. Shouldn't this have been diagnosed as infant torticollis? Will it go away without physical therepy or use of a helmet? Anyone's infant had this and fixed it without physical therapy?

Mainly exercise an physical therapy is required, use of helmet does not help in all cases, for torticollis best is massage and for head shape deformity best is physical therapy. Hope this helps.
