vancouver resident considering seeking plagiocephly head band treatment in WA

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a 5 month old son who has plagiocephly. We just had our appointment at

BC

children's hospital the passed monday (feb 2), the occupational therapist said

the head

banding would be very beneficial. But she warned that the local orthotics

clinic has a long

waiting list. So I called the clinic to book an appointment in the car on the

way home, and

the earliest that I can get is April 9, which is more than 2 months away. I

have read 5-6

month, the skull is most malleable. Since we have to pay for the cost of the

treatment, we

thought maybe we should just do it in WA.

1) I am wondering has any canadian out there got the head banding done is the

US? Any

advice?

2) Any good recommendation for a clinic in WA?

3) What is the cost approximately?

4) Do I need a doctor's note or referral, or can I just call and book an

appointment.

5) My son Logan is 5 month right now. Do you think I should just patiently wait

for 2 month

and do it locally in vancouver.

Thanks,

Alison
