Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 My son has been in a Hanger band since March 1st and in 2 weeks he went from 13mm to 8mm!!! Our orthotist said that success like that is not typical (we got lucky with a growth spurt at the right time) but I can't say enough good things about our Hanger band. And at least at my local office (Columbus, OH), the staff at Hanger has been incredible. They're all so nice and helpful. And I adore our orthotist - he has tons of experience and is great with kids (even my 2-year-old daughter who has to tag along with us).Best of luck! I'm sure you'll be glad you did it.mom to , 7 months with tort & plagioHanger band since 3/1/10From: kabnancy <kabnancy@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Wed, March 24, 2010 12:36:13 AMSubject: Hanger Hi, my 4.5 month old son is about to start treatment with Hanger.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 In 2002 my daughter went to a Hanger facility in Missouri. That particular Hanger uses the STARband though. We had a great experience. If you share which Hanger you are considering, maybe someone in the group has or is going there and can share their experience. Please keep us posted on how your son is doing. Angie Jenna STARgrad 2003 Hanger Hi,my 4.5 month old son is about to start treatment with Hanger.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi , Hanger is a good product, but a lot depends on the ortho. You want to make sure you are working with someone who has a lot of experience banding babies. Some orthos do many types of orthotics, and may not spend a lot of time on banding. Maybe you can post your location, or which office you'll be going to. Or ask your ortho about their experience with kids like yours, results you can expect etc. -christine sydney, 4 yrs, starband grad > > Hi, > > my 4.5 month old son is about to start treatment with Hanger.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi Hanger was our only option in the area. The office is not very appealing and the ortho is just a young girl doing her residence. However, she seems very knowledgable. She is specifically doing cranial helmets and says she sees couple more patients every week. She treated more than 100 kids so far. So, although everything doesn't look ideal we are very happy with the results so far and seeing lots of improvements. We even started with a heat rash during a growth spurt and lost couple of days here and there. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to make a recommendation. Just sharing our experience with Hanger. Every child is different. Good luck...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Has anyone dealt with Hanger in Reston, VA? If so, what are you thoughts about that location and their Orthotists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 We are working with an orthotist named , who sees patients at both the Reston and the andria office (where we go, since we are in ndale). My daughter just got her scan yesterday and the helmet should be here in five days. I've not been to the Reston office, but the andria one is fine, and is great! Good luck! joan > > Has anyone dealt with Hanger in Reston, VA?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I thought that Hanger didn't do cranial banding at any other locations other than that in Bethesda. At least thats what I was told. Now I'm worried that I may have missed out on a potentially good orthotist. Im not saying that the one we go to is bad, I'm still new to the whole process. Im just shocked! > > > > Has anyone dealt with Hanger in Reston, VA?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 They definitely do it in Reston also and in andria. I wonder why you were told they only do it in Bethesda?
