Re: Hanger Helmet..Hello tracy

May 8, 2006

Hello and welcome to the group.

I have a few questions

You said that you where referred to Cranial Tech - was that by your

Doctor? Is your insurance covering anyother type of band? If so, you

doctor can write you a script that says " Docband - no subsition "

If your insurance company does not cover banding/helmeting - I would

personally choose Cranial Tech over anyother facilitiy. They are the

leaders in what they do. My son was a victim to two ill fitting

helmets - (non-docbands) those two ill fittings helmets made my son's

head worse. We finally took him (through the appeals process) to

Cranial Tech when he was 13 months of age. He has recently graduated

and has seen good results for his older plagio age and previous

deformities caused by ill fitting helmets.
