Re: Success with Starband?

[Guest guest]

Hi :

As Marci already replied, we have had successes & failures with the

STARband amongst many group members. My daughter unfortunately wore

a STARband for 3 mos with no improvement, it actually dented her

skull in a bit on what was the good side of her head as a result of

incorrect pressures being applied. Abby's orthotist was not very

well trained, therefore, we had bad results. If you do decide to go

with the STARband, be sure to thoroughly interview the orthotist.

Ask him/her for references, photos of babies he has treated, etc..

There's a great list of questions to ask at

www.plagiocephaly.org/support - " questions for the Dr " . Do you know

of any STARband providers in your area?
