The newly announced guide is designed to support parents in caring for infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) or flat head syndrome.
The full guide can be found at https://infanttorticollis.info
Written by Dr. Phillips-Williams, an experienced pediatrician, the announcement of the Parent’s Guide to Congenital Torticollis from Community Health and Education Services highlights the organization’s ongoing public awareness campaign about symptoms and treatment methods for CMT.
Statistics from Boston Children’s Hospital show that CMT is relatively common, affecting around 1 in every 300 births, and - while often benign - can be a sign of more serious health issues. To help concerned parents provide the best level of care and attention for their child, the guide from the team at Community Health and Education Services provides information to support families.
“Our comprehensive and empowering guide is crafted for parents facing the challenges of CMT," explains a spokesperson. “This transformative resource is structured in sixteen chapters, each strategically designed to provide knowledge, support, and practical strategies for the unique journey of each child.”
Chapter topics include advanced medical interventions, surgical options for treating CMT, and the way in which CMT can be linked to Sandifer Syndrome. Dr. Phillips-Williams emphasizes a holistic approach, in which all aspects of the child are considered.
Readers will also learn about practical tools, including possible orthotics, repositioning programs to help adjust a child’s posture, and hands-on ways to promote physical development.
Finally, the guide also outlines the various forms of torticollis, including benign paroxysmal torticollis and ocular torticollis, to help parents be prepared for any challenges they may encounter. Parents will learn more about the importance of personalized care plans, which account for a child’s physiology and unique needs.
The parental guidebook can be ordered online for $20. One satisfied parent says, “This is a great roadmap and gave our family clarity and direction in navigating our journey with CMT. It was a valuable resource and helped us understand the condition, explore treatment options, and implement practical strategies for treating our son’s condition and helping him develop healthily.”
