POST-VIRAL SYNDROMES: ??? Pompe Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, polyneuritis, polymyalgia ....

Late one night about a year ago, I was watching a Discovery Health Channel report on a child with a very similar picture of the Asian child and the elderly lady I have mentioned above. This show caught my attention. I said to myself I wonder if this child in the Discovery Health Channel show had flu or colds at the beginning of the picture of the disease, and right after I questioned myself, the narrator said that the only thing this child had at the beginning were flu symptoms which got gradually worse. The parents took the child everywhere searching for the cure. Finally, they ended up at the Mayo Clinic and after a lot of testing they concluded that this disease has a name but no cure . They called it POMPE DISEASE.

TORTICOLLIS (CONGENITAL) Experts are not certain as to the cause of this kind of Torticollis, some say that babies are born with neck problems due to mal-position in uterus (fetus in the wrong position while in the womb) and others say this condition may be related to injury of the neck and stretching of the muscles of the baby's neck at birth.
The baby's neck is twisted and head is deviated or tipped to one side while the chin is turned to the other side, there is often muscle swelling, shortening of the neck and neurological symptoms due to compression of the nerve roots. Alternative treatments (needle-less acupuncture) combined with manual therapy has been very successful in our facility, curing this condition in about 4 to 5 visits in babies suffering from mild to moderate TORTICOLLIS.

TORTICOLLIS (CONGENITAL)

Congenital Torticollis (twisted neck) also known as wryneck.
Experts are not exactly sure as to the real cause of this condition, some say it is due to injury or wrong position of the baby while in the womb or during birth if the neck muscles are stretched or injured. It is usually noted in the first weeks after birth, the baby keeps the head tilted  to one side while the chin is turned to the other side. The treatment is necessary in order to prevent the baby's skull from growing unevenly, as well as to prevent facial and neck deformities.
At our facility, we have treated several cases of Congenital Torticollis (ranging from mild to moderate) with excellent results within 4 to 5 visits.  The treatments consists of Alternative therapy (needle-less acupuncture) and Manual Therapy which results in significant improvement only after the first visit.
