Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hi, My son has ridging at his sutures too. It was fairly prominent, and I haven't had more than minimal success in resolving it. The one I see the most is on the right side. I first noticed what was probably the ridging after 7 months, but before 11 months. I forget the exact age, but it must have been about your son's age. This was before started with the helmet, so I am pretty sure his Starband did not cause the ridging. However, the helmet has not helped the ridging either, although it helped a lot with the plagio I've been trying all sorts of alternative therapies with top therapists since he was 11.5 months. The ridging looks a little better, but it is still there. You may want to have your son evaluated by a PT for torticollis. Also, you may want to check that the ridging you see is nothing serious. Good luck! Best, Kathy, mom to 24 months smpa23 wrote: Son with plagio has been in a STAR Band helmet for 7 weeks (started at 6 month). During this period his cranial growth has been good with fairly good correction. However, a couple of days ago I notice a ridge on the cranial suture between the front two plates which has me concerned. Has anyone seen a ridge develop while wearing a helmet? If so, is this an indication the helmet is too tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 It seems that those ridges occur when the sutures release and the head starts rounding out. I remember that I first noticed them after started CST (a month before she got her band). That is part of why I believe that CST was helping even before she got the band. So, my conclusion was that it was more related to the process of the head rounding out than the band.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I hope this is true for . Although unfortunately his ridging started when his head was still flattening. 's ridges are confusing to me. Dr. Eon thought they were caused by the other therapies, but I know this cannot be completely true since the chiro noted the one on the right at his first visit. Also, I think it was the ridging that I first noticed on 's head before the flat area. Did the ridges on 's head resolve? If so, how long did it take?
