You can't " push the bone back down " . Instead you hold the prominent area so new

growth won't go to that area. The new growth will go where there is room in the

band. So if you have extra height, it won't go away, but by directing the growth

to other places, the overall proportion will change, and head shape will

improve. You can help flat areas to fill in, but you cannot reduce the size of

any part of the head. If you think about it, it makes sense because what would

happen to the brain in that area if you pushed the bone in?

For example my daughter had brachy with extra width. The width is still there

but by directing the growth to the back, the head is more proportional. She head

was slightly higher in the back on one side, I think that went away, but maybe I

just don't notice it now. If you look at Sydney's starscan you'll see how the

band kept her head from growing wider, but the back grew quite at bit.

second opinion on his condition (again seeking some sort of eval. for wether or

not he needed the helmet therapy). Instead this doc. instantly recommended pt

for torticolis (which was a new discovery for us) and then cranial manipulation

to correct the shape of his head. This sort of manipulation just sounds like it

has some really bad mojo to me! But my husband is all for it. I am in the midst

of researching it right now. Can anyone lend me any info. on this sort of

procedure. Is it good? bad? or ugly?

to hear if anyone has had experience with alternative treatments such as this.

Specifically if they did cracking or just treat certain target points. My

husband does not prefer this field of medicine at all but it's worth exploring

all options. I am curious how others feel. It's one thing for an adult but on a

baby? I'm very hesitant.
