I just want to hear his reasoning since I am now a bit more educated

Hi :

You do not need a referral from a Dr for just an evaluation at

Cranial Tech. You would need a rx from the Dr for a casting and a

DOCband, but not just for an evaluation.

You are correct, the younger you begin banding, usually the better &

faster correction will be. Babies heads grow very quickly younger in

age, therefore, more correction from banding.

Keep us posted.
