Plagiocephaly Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 8:28 AM Subject: DOC band at 16 months Hi everybody,First, I would like to thank you ALL for being so supportive.I've been reading all your messages for a while now, but this is the first time I'm writing.I live in the UK, and here, children are not treated for plagiocephaly AT ALL.I was so desperate since my son Boris was 4 weeks old.It took about 4 months just to diagnose him with plagiocephaly.As many of you, we were told it would 'round' by itself, which never happened.I found some information on ivillage.com about helmets, but when I told to Dr.s about this, they said it is no good, doesn't help at all etc.So we just decided that we have to live whith that.But I couldn't.I am so angry with myself that I didn't look on the web about helmets earlier.I've seen some articles about treatment with DOC band in older children.I know that it can help even if started at 18 months, but not as efective.Are there any mums whose child started as late?We are going to Spain next week(only there in Europe we can get DOC band).Any advice would be helpfull.I am so sad we waited so long,and feel kind of guilty.Thanx again for being so supportive and great mums.andra-Boris's mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi andra, My name is Jill, I have twin sons, Josh & Jarred. Josh was also diagnosed REAL late! He didn't get his DOC until he was 19 months old!! Let me tell you, what a difference! He wore for 4 months and a week. We got over all about 70% correction. I would strongly suggest checking into it, if you can swing frequent trips to Spain for adjustments. I wish you the best of luck, and keep us all posted!
