Re: Should we see a specialist to rule out cranio before banding?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill,

It is pretty standard treatment to rule out Cranio before treatment

begins, or so I thought..... You might want to ask the doctor about

that if she hasn't mentioned it yet. Perhaps she could just tell by

looking at your son?. I am sure CT would let you know if you should

have a follow up with the doctor (if they suspected cranio). Ask them

about that tomorrow. I wish I could be of more help. Please let me

know how it goes tomorrow.

Hi Jill,

My son was never X rayed or anything else. He had very

typical/traditional plagio and I did not want to expose him to any

additional procedures/xrays/etc if not absolutely needed.

That being said, if you think he needs one, by all means call your

doc back and ask if it could be arranged.

Good luck!

I would ask your pediatrician to order a skull series just in case.
