Not Torticollis

My 7 month old baby has been intermittently tilting his head to his right side for 3 months (it literally started spontaneously one day). It lasts about 5-7 days then gets better over a couple of days then he's ok for 3-14 days then it happens again and the cycle repeats. Recently he is tilting to his left as well. It doesn't seem to bother him and there are no other symptoms other than that it seems that it is not just his neck but his whole trunk that bends. When it started I took him to the doctor who referred us to a pediatric physiotherapist who diagnosed him with congenital torticollis but as it resolves and now changes sides I am sure it is not congenital torticollis. I then took him to a chiropractor who treated him for 2 months but it doesn't seem to have made any difference and is very expensive so I've stopped going. I have done some research online and the only thing that comes up is Benign Paroxismal Torticollis - except that he doesn't have any of the other symptoms - just the head tilt. I am at a loss! My husband says he thinks it will just resolve itself over time - I hope he's right - but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and if it does 'just get better'?

Sorry to hear about his mystery problem. DD had torticollis but hers was purely that she couldn't turn her head to the left. It has been resolved now. I don't have any ideas except could it be his ears? Perhaps due to teething?

I hope you get some answers soon.

Have you been back the to original physio since the symptoms changed?
