Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. My wife and I have a 6
month old son who has had some issues with reflux and gas. While he was
having a follow up visit with his gastro doctor they noticed that he 'has'
not 'might have' torticollis. Is anyone here familiar with it? My first
thought is that he is a stomach doctor so maybe we should take his opinion
lightly and bring him to another doctor. Who would be best though? The
orthopedist he wanted to refer us to? Our own pediatrician? Assuming he
does have this problem what is the best way to treat it? The gastro
recommended exercises while my sister in law wants us to bring him to the
chiropractor she works for who will put some device on him over several
visits. I'm probably being stubborn but bringing an infant to a
chiropractor concerns me. Thanks in advance!

What does wry neck have to do with gastro problems? Torticollis is likw
when you sleep in a funny position and you wake up with a stiff neck and a
limited Range of motion.
