Re: Need help deciding on band for mild plagio

[Guest guest]

Hi! Welcome to our groupo. CT means Cranial Technologies. I think you

should take your son to them so they can help you take the decision.

As Sandy said, they will do a free evaluation and they won't

recommend a band if your son doesn't needed. I took my daughter last

week and they were very helpful. My daughter was diagnosed with

plagio due to torticollist too. At Cranial Technologies they told me

that my daughter's facial assymetry made her a candidate to be DOC

banded. Otherwise she wouldn't be banded because her plagio is not

that severe. Good Look!

Cecy, mom to Arely (4.75 months old)

-Plagiocephaly

-Torticollis

-Facial Assymetry

-To be banded on Jan 7th
