cranial tech vs star cranial

[Guest guest]

Hi- my 6 mo. old son has been diagnosed with torticollis and plagio.

Our pt referred us to Cranial Technology, as did our pedi.

Unfortunately it is out of our network, but Star Cranial is in

network. Can anyone give me the pros and cons to each facilty. I was

strongly leaning towards CT until I found out how much it would be

with out insurance coverage. I hate for money to be a factor, but

unfortunatly it is. Thanks!

Hello. The real key to getting good correction with ANY band is making

sure that the Orthotist is experienced. As long as the Ortho you would

be working with at the STAR facility is experienced with cranial bands

and plagio, then I'm sure your little one will get great correction.

The bands LOOK a little different (the DOC, by CT, weighs a little less

and covers a little less of the head than STAR). However, both bands

work the same way to redirect the growth of a baby's head.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks! We are going to a STAR facility next week for our evaluation

(we're in the Dallas area). I'm anxious to talk to the staff, and find

out who would be working with my son. And I agree, as long as s/he is

highly experienced, my worries will cease some. The whole situation

with the insurance has just been so frustrating! I'm ready to find the

right facility for us and move forward. Again, thanks for your advice!!!
