Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 The DOCband people are orthotists too. They do not have medical degrees (MD).

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Dustie, But is the clinician the same as an orthotist? I thought they were orthotists or PTs, because they do the fittings, adjustments, and tort stuff.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 The cranial facial is the specialist that gave us the referral to CT. Deb Re: Re: Swollen eye - /MOM what is a crainal facial specialist ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 No - I am not sure how it works where you are. But to get to CT my pedi had to refer me to a cranial facial (or a neurosurgeon) and then I had to get the referral from that person to CT. Otherwise the CT here in Los Angeles won't see me. So the only reason I saw this specialist guy was for a piece of paper to get an appt. with CT Re: Re: Swollen eye - /MOM what is a crainal facial specialist ?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 no they are not the same. The orthotist deals with the band and adjusting them. The cranio specialist is like DR. Singhal. He prescribes the bands, orders scans, diagnoses plagio, cranio. He also does surgery if necessary. I know he said he could correct Jenna's ear that sticks out a bit when she got older if needed. I am not sure what the DOCband people are called. I do not think they are cranio specialists though. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.
