Advice from parents of children who wear the cranial band please :)

[Guest guest]

This topic is new to me, but my son of almost 7 months has significant

plagiocephaly. He has had it since birth, but his physician said that

his flat spot would get better when he started to roll over. The spot

has gradually gotten worse. I didn't accept that answer. 3 months ago I

went around my doctor to a Peds PT, who also happens to be a personal

friend, for help. My son was also suffering from tort, but thankfully

through many different stretching exercises his tort is much better. I

took him to an Orthotics Center for a scan. My son's cranial scan

measures 6.9 mm. He is a candidate for the cranial band. Is there

anyone who can give me some advise positive/negative from a parent that

is going through the process or has gone through the process? My

husband and I are trying to decided upon the next step. Our insurance

does not cover the band unless his measure was greater than 10mm. Money

really isn't the issue when it comes to his health, but at the same

time is. We'll take whatever step is necessary.

We would just like some input.

A very appreciative mom and son,
