New from Northern California

[Guest guest]

Hi- my name is Kaitlyn and my son Austin (9/18/00) was just referred to a physical therapist this week for tort and plagio- we are reading all we can on the websites you all mentioned and can't seem to get enough of the info on the bands - which we will pursue for him. We were told there is no company with a clinic in northern california- we'll have to go down south to Cranial Technologies in Burbank/SanDiego- if you know of any clinic with offices above Fresno (we live north of San Francisco) I'd love to hear about them.

Also, has anyone inquired into chiropractic care for torticollis or plagio? My chiropractor believes it fixes everything, of course:). But, I'm uneducated in its benefits for this condition.

Thank you!

Kaitlyn - we go to a chiro for craniosacral therapy. He kept wanting to do an adjustment on . I finally let him do a couple. We got straight on pt and the two chiro treatments I had, I didn't see any benefit. Matter of fact, the second one and last, the next day we got sick with our first ear infection. I guess others have had luck and I truthfully do think they have an important place in the medical field. Matter of fact I told our pediatric neurologist that we were seeing a chiro and he was very supportive and thought traditional and chiro need to work more closely and wished they were on staff with him to work with. Thought was way cool. I'm not going back but continueing with craniosacral therapy until done with our band. Then I'm done!

Hi,

My name is Sue and we live in Bakersfield. Our daughter, , got

her DOC band from Cranial Therapies in Burbank. We have only about an

hour and a half drive. There are patients who fly down from the bay

area for treatment. I have also read e-mails that mention a helmet

clinic at Stanford University, but that baby was already " too old " at

7 months for their program. You are soooo lucky to be aware and

starting to research while your baby is so young. I would also try

to find someone in your area who can deliver the Starband, which is

very similar to the DOC band and is made by Orthoamerica. At their

website, they can refer you to clinicians in your area. Good luck

with your journey. We're all here to help! Sue & (1/21/00

and bandd 9/29/00)

Dear Sue- thanks for the encouragement- we used to live in Valencia so we at

least have friends to stay with! I e-mailed Stanford's clinic referral

dept- thanks for the tip.

I live in San . I am pursuing treatment through Stanford (Lucile

Packard Children's Hospital). They use a helmet that is similar in

principle and weight to the Doc Band/Starband and we have been

thrilled with the progress our son is making. He started at about 7

1/2 months and has worn it for about 9 weeks.

Hi Kaitlyn and Austin!

My name is Kim and I take my son to a chiropractor - mostly because

he wouldn't put weight on his right leg, but my chiropractor knows

everything about his helmet and treatment. She treats his neck - and I have

seen improvement on the way he arches his back and also that his neck

muscles are not as hard like rocks like they used to be. I am not sure I

believe she can fix everything - but she has told me of certain

chiropractors that deal strictly with the head - and it is amazing the

things she has seen. Good luck and let me know if you think going to the

chiropractor is helping!

Kim

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

We had just contacted LPCH to see if they had a program and you have just

confirmed it for us. We also are meeting with a doctor at UCSF next week- I

was referred there by Orthomerica for the Starband. Our son is only 3months

next week so we are not sure if they'll proceed yet or not.
