Plagiocephaly is a common condition where an infant’s head becomes flattened on one side. While it can be alarming for parents, it is effectively treated with Cranial Remolding Therapy.
How Do Helmets Work?
We use custom-fitted helmets (like the STARband) to gently direct growth. The helmet holds the "round" parts of the head steady while leaving space for the "flat" parts to grow into.
Is it Painful?
No. The treatment is passive, painless, and non-invasive. Your baby will quickly adapt to wearing the helmet, often within a day or two.
The Process
- Evaluation: We assess your baby’s head shape using safe, 3D scanning technology (no lasers or radiation).
- Fitting: A custom helmet is fabricated to exact specifications.
- Monitoring: We see you regularly to adjust the helmet as your baby grows.
If you have concerns about your baby's head shape, don’t wait. Early intervention (between 4-8 months) yields the fastest results.
