Welcome to the group.

Have you tried repositioning? You can get some good tips at

plaigocephaly.org/support.

Our son was casted at about the same age as Logan. He wore the band

for 12 weeks and looks fantastic.

Does PA have insurance for uninsured children? Here kids w/o health

insurance can get it for free. Maybe that is something to look

into.

If you are near a Cranial Tech, I would suggest going for a free

consult (most of them offer them for free). Then if you choose to

band, you can shop around since you will be covering the costs

yourself.

If you are near Philly, maybe you can go see Niki's ortho. She has

nothing but praise for him

Hi , and welcome to the group! Whereabouts is Lafayette

Hill, is out by Conshohoken? I live in Philadelphia, so I don't

think I am too far from you!

I can definitely see some flatness on Logan's head. I am really bad

at determining whether its mild, moderate or severe. But I really

don't think it would fall into the severe catergory. The good thing

is that Logan is still so young. You could very well see some

excellent correction with repositioning alone. If you go to

the 'Bookmark' section of the plagio homepage, there is folder

dedicated to repositioning. In there you will find tips and products

to aid you in repositioning Logan. If you ever do decide that Logan

needs a band, I would be more than happy to give you the name of my

ortho!!

I am sure that our one moderator will chime in here and give

you some great tips and stretches regarding his tort.

Good luck to you , and please keep us posted!

If Logan does have tort, you would probably qualify for Early

Intervention (EI) which would provide him with physical therapy.

I'm sure someone else on here has used EI. Maybe they can help you

on how to get started.
