Re: UGH! Top Specialist says no band needed but I STILL think-PICS R UP

[Guest guest]

I'm confused about what a Cranial Tech office does? I've read that

they just do the banding but that you have to see a doctor prior to

seeing CT. If I can't get a doctor to say she needs a band, how does

CT help? Will they band her without a doc saying she needs one? I

imagine then though you're asking for problems with insurance

approving/paying for the thing . . . ?! Ugh! I feel so helpless

with all of this!

Thanks for the insight!
