I would be curious to know this too if anyone has seen results. I

talked to cranial technolgies since my son has the DOC band and they

said it couldn't hurt. I think I will proceed with it just to see

if I can get better/quicker results. I will try anything as long as

it doesn't hurt his progress :)

CST is not covered by our insurance either. Unfortunately our

insurance changed as of the first of the year to CIGNA and they do

not cover the DOC band either.

We are going to continue with CST and the second band. It would be

wonderful if CST alone rounds out our baby's head and helps the

assymetry in his ears. However, we feel that the band can only help

too and do not want to waste precious time. Plus we can always

remove the band if we feel he's gotten the most correction. It's

just too bad we can't get a pro-rated price on the band if we take

it off early!!!

I'll let you know how it goes.

HI, although I've read good things on this site about CST, I would

be skeptical about using it alone to treat plagio. It just sounds

like too much of a miracle cure to me. In addition to shifting

things around a bit there it a lot of growth required to resolve a

misshapen head. I would definitely not rely exclusively on CST if I

had the option of a helmet.

We do not have the option of the band because my son and I are both allergic to the foam used to make the helmets. Therefore we have only CST to rely on for correcting his head as much as possible.NinaMommy to Max, 8 mo, brachy baby Re: Craniosacral Therapy

Hi,

I would definitely still do the band. My daughter (a former Docband

wearer) has had CST five times now with only a slight change in

headshape and facial asymmetry. BUT, she's 1.5 years old, so maybe

CST would work better for a younger child. Just my two cents!

Good luck!

Hi again,

We have decided to still go with the second band. But we are also

going to continue with CST for at least a few sessions. It can't

hurt. I also am not sure that CST alone will correct his head shape.

I did repositional therapy and it worked amazingly. Sofia is five

months now and almost done. I'll be doing CST to get rid of the bumps

on her head. Her tort was treated with PT and her plagio with repo,

and now her lumps with CST. I've had a great experience without the

band, although we started early which had something to do with it. Not

sure how old yours is, but best of luck and keep an open mind and

repositional in mind at all times. Use the bjorn instead of the

stroller, etc. I only caught the end part of this web post, so I don't

know if you're doing all this already, but read up on repositional if

you're not too au fait with it, or email me and I'll tell you what

we've been doing that's worked so well.

All the best, Natasha.

I just read a book called " Your Inner Physician " by Dr. Upledger, the

experience with this type of treatment. I'm going to try it because

since my fall I have been having recurrent " panic attack " episodes; I

think from jostling my whole nervous system. It sounds like something

that could be beneficial to us with our brain fog, pain and other

health problems.

Feedback would be great if anyone has tried this out!

Thanks! Katy:)

Kenda, I'm going to try this out too.. One of my friends went to an osteopath and had a craniosacral treatment for her hips which had been causing her alot of pain for months. The osteopath did an adjustment on her JAW and she has had no further hip pain. It was corrected in ONE session. I am quite impressed by this story. She had never been to an osteopath before and went after exhausting other medical options. I am so jittery and anxious all the time! It gets to the point of feeling like I am going to pass out. I know this feeling of being overstimulated could be adrenal related too. Since I fell and gave myself a concussion, I haven't been able to do yoga because it is now making me dizzy. I use yoga to relax, but can't just now.. Anyways, thanks for the input! Katy:) Kenda Skaggs

Katy,

I have been going to an osteopath for

years due to my dizziness; I can honestly say he has saved me.

The first time I saw him I was at my wits

end, my dizziness was incredible, these days he keeps it manageable for me, I truly

swear by my osteopath I love him for all the help he has given me.

Hope this helps

Sue.

Yep, we started at just about that time and we did about 6 or 7

sessions lasting about 15 minutes each. The PT did it at our

adjustments for the Docband. My daughter loved it and was so soothed.

Who knows if it actually helped, but I would do it again because we

have had good results with the band!

Hi ,

We take to an Osteopath that does Cranial Sacral work. She is one of 700 doctors in the country that specializes in OMM (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine) and works with many babies and kids. She has helped so much in just 3 visits so far. After each of the last 2 visits we have noticed him doing something better than he used to or even something he never did before. Even my husband loves her and swears s head looks better after each visit. She is wonderful! I noticed you are in Wisconsin, so if you are interested in her name and number, she is in Illinois, but well worth the trip if you are at all close to Illinois. She is in McHenry, IL. There are lots of good articles on Cranial Sacral work and Plagio or Tort. If you just do a search online, also try searching with OMM and Plagio in the same search field and see what comes up! Its definately worth looking into. Also, some Chiropractors do this work also.

Hi ,

We just had our free consult at Cranial Tech yesterday...not sure if we are going to do it or not, or if our insurance will cover it either! The Osteopath just started accepting insurance (BCBS), not sure what other ones she is taking.. I have heard about massage therapists who do Cranial Sacral, and I think PT's who do it too, but from my understanding, and I could be wrong.. the work done by an Osteopath is much more involved. They go to school an additional 4 years for the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine specialty, which is why very few do it (like 700 in the whole country). I'm sure you could find out more about it on the web... but again, I am pretty sure the work that she does is more extensive/intensive(not sure the right word)... :)

If you would like her name/number, let me know... it may be worth a call at least. She can explain what she does a lot better than I can... but I'm really glad our son is seeing her. She has explained to us what is going on in our sons body (tort, plagio, unwinding...etc..) with such knowledge and she really seems to be helping him. :-)

Thanks so much for the info, we only live about an hour from

McHenry. Did your insurance cover the treatments...or how much did

each session cost. I still don't know if her band is covered by our

insurance and we are being fitted on Monday! The OT I work with has

a friend who treats for $85 and hour and will come to our house.

My sons have had a lot of craniosacral therapy and our

insurance actually pays 100% of it. We send in the

receipt ourselves and they reimburse us. We have

really good insurance, but you could at least try

finding out what the code would be on the receipt and

call your insurance to see what they might cover.

They have a prescription from a doctor to receive it.

Our therapist codes it as manual therapy 97140. The

condition for one is verbal apraxia and the other is

dysphagia and reflux. She got that off of the

prescription from the doctor.

Good luck!

Hello,

I am new to this group. My son was born a little over two years ago

with ARPKD and received a kidney/liver transplant this past Septmeber.

Because he has spent SO MUCH time in the hospital and on his back (he

is developmentally behind and because of all of his kidney/liver issues

and being on dialysis, he never spent much time on his belly and still

does not crawl) he has a very flat head. I talked to the neurologist a

few months ago and was told that he was too old for the helmet and

there wasn't much that could be done for him at this point.

Recently, I asked our PT about craniosacral therapy. She seems like

one of the ones who thinks it works but isn't super convinced it will

work. Anyway, I need to hear things a million times before I

understand these things. She has explained to me the way this therapy

works, but I still don't quite get it. Can someone explain to me how

this type of therapy can actually change the shape of his skull even

though he is 2 years old.

Thanks so much!!

Hi ,

I'm new to the group too so can't comment on how this type of therapy will help

a flat head, however I can point you to a site that feels craniosacral therapy

in general is dubious:

http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/cranial.html

The bottom of the article has a lot of references to other sources.

I have been recommended this therapy by friends and they can never tell me

exactly what they are trying to treat so I remain skeptical myself. Perhaps some

others in the group can give you a more evidence-based story about how it has

helped them.

You both might be interested in checking out the Older plagio

message board as well:

OlderPlag/

They talk about a lot of alternative treatments for plagio in the

older child (after the window for a band has passed) and seem to

know a lot about CST and other chiropractic specialties that can

help. It might be worth checking out, a lot of them have first-hand

experience with it.

Good luck!
