Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Hi all! My son has just started his DOC Band therapy. He has a mild-severe case of positional plagiotherapy. We are seeing two pediatric physical therapists in Cleveland, OH. We are their first plagiocephaly patients (their office just opened for this Feb. 5th this year). Matt was born in October and his birth was normal. He had a slightly molded head (his head circumference measured him in the 98th percentile, so it had to mold somewhat just to get out). The day after he was born, his head was not molded whatsoever, so the birthing can't be a causal factor. We blame the backsleeping and all the back time he got (he really didn't like being on his belly one bit; still doesn't like it, but he is a little more accepting). One of my wife's old high school friends works for Cranial Technologies in Atlanta. She was up for a little " Girl's Group " get- together with all the kids of all the gals. She noticed Matt's head there and e-mailed my wife once she got back to Atlanta. My wife researched online and we went in to talk to our pediatrician. She was very open to the idea and called the PT's we were going to see so she could learn more. She wants us to bring Matt in after-hours so she can see what's going on without it actually being an official visit (never hurts to be a friend of your pediatrician before she becomes your pediatrician)! Matt had some rubbing of the Band during week one, so we didn't have him wear it and it had to be altered. This, then is week one (provided everything goes well) and he should be back in it full-time tomorrow. The PT's think he'll only need 3 months of the Band. Enough of my windbagging.
