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

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I took a look and I can see some problem, but it is hard to assess. I

would say she has a " complex " head shape, meaning that she has certain

areas that are flat/bulging, but it isn't the typical shape. She seems

to have some extra width, as well as a bulge on the right side, and a

little flatness in back. None of the problems seem severe, but a band

may help with these different areas. Do you know her cephalic index

(cranial ration)? It is max width/max length.

There are two cranial Tech offices in chicago area - I would try to go

there for a consultation.

Cranial Tech has a very good reputation, and I know they do free

consultations.
