Re: Starband vs. Cranial Tech-DOC band

[Guest guest]

STARband is top notch.

 My daughther has be in her STARband since 10/30/2009 and the results are

amazing.  Her head shape has improved dramtically and her facial assymetry

has improved as well.  The only thing

that I would have preferred would to have used an Orthotist with a

STARscanner.  Although, measurements do

not tell the whole story it would be nice to have a more exact detail of them.  You can visit our website at www.alexandrasphate.org to find out more information.  WE have started a foundation to educate families about torticollis, plagiocephaly and cranial remolding orthoses.  Keep checking back here.  This group really helped us through things.

Just wanted to see if anyone had good (or less than desirable) results with Starband.

We have been extremely happy with our Starband. We ended up with

better results than we would have with a Doc band since we were able to

keep it on much longer. The key with a Starband is a recommended

ortho. Check the references of the Starband ortho carefully. Our

ortho came highly recommended.
