Is BOTOX a good idea for resolving my infant's torticollis? - torticollis botox infants
My son is almost over and pushed me around from doctor to doctor and he had a month on the left side of the narrow neck muscles (torticollis) and now instead of surgery, they want an injection of Botox. Is this a good solution? Stretching does not help, and to examine in 10 months of physical therapy, why, Botox?

Torticollis Botox Infants Is BOTOX A Good Idea For Resolving My Infant's Torticollis?

As a physiotherapist, it does'm sorry to hear that PT has not worked. I know that now, with Botox injections in patients with stroke and children with cerebral palsy and other conditions in which they lead very spastic, or strained muscles. You see good results, but from what I know, the effects are only temporary.
This seems terriffying !!!!!!!!
Kudos to Jill B.
I am also a PT, and would be a good idea to get some cooperation, between your team of health care.
The PT and botox can do wonders.
As Jill said, "is only temporary, not magic. It must be used to treat the underlying problem (muscle tension), and not just a quick fix
the details with a doctor of their choice, and not Yahoo.
