Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi again, I've been trying to do research about plagiocephaly and the amount of change a child's head can go through without an orthotic/helmet. I've found a lot of data about how a child's head shape can be improved through use of a helmet, but none about what happens without the use of a helmet. Does this data simply not exist? I don't imagine that everyone who visits Cranial Tech or any other company gets a helmet, right? I mean, there is a significant scare factor and when dealing with the well being of your child, I bet the percent of people that opt to band their kids is high. But still there must be some parents that chose not to, especially considering that it seems from my reading that many/most pediatricians say it is not necessary, along with even neurologists (who I never considered visiting). Some people have to be taking the advice of pediatricians and not banding I would think. So if any of those read this forum, please speak up and share your experience. The way the data appears, I am leaning to think that people who chose not to band had no issues whatsoever in the future, perhaps not even cosmetic ones, which would explain why no one speaks up... maybe there is just nothing to say. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
