amazing results from LOC band

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am a UK mummy of 6 month old Dan who had his LOC band fitted for 14mm

plagio with torticollis last week. After just 1 week (and only 4 full nights in

the helmet) he has gone down to 8mm!! Has anyone else had experience of this

sort of early improvement - is it likely to slow down now? We were so worried

about getting a helmet for Dan but are over the moon with the results!

Congrats on the fast results! It sounds like you hit a HUGE growth spurt just in

time. It may slow down a little, it really just depends on how fast he continues

to grow. Hope it stays at this pace!

We had a similar experience, though we don't have actual measurements for

comparison. We started at 17 mm plagio with torticollis. Cranial Tech will

measure again this week, I think, which will be 4 weeks in the DOC band. We

started at 5.5 months and the first week had tremendous improvement. Almost

looked like a completely different little head! We, too, were thrilled. We

expected not to see as much rapid improvement after that, but we have had 3

consecutive weeks of significant growth spurts (according to CT...4mm/3mm/4mm).

The past two weeks of improvement have been less noticeable, but I think that's

because so much happened the first week that you actually had to be looking for

the problem by week 2 to know it existed. So, while we expected the change to

slow down a bit, it really hasn't yet...because of those timely growth spurts.

I am so glad we chose to go forward with the band. Had we taken the advice of

one pediatrician and one specialist, we would still be watching it, worried and

hoping it would improve on its own. Instead, we're almost through with treatment

(possibly just 1-3 weeks left) after just 4 weeks and it looks great!!

Glad you're seeing such great results, too!
