Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi there, I was wondering if any of you are located in Las Vegas and can tell me your experience with banding/helmet here in town? I've noticed the options are getting slim. It seems Cranial Tech used to have an office here, but it is closed now? And nothing is listed on the Orthoamerica site. Is Hanger the only option? Our little girl is 5 months old today. A little over a month ago I noticed her head shape was off, but my eyes were playing tricks and I couldn't quite figure it out. At her 4 month appointment, mentioned it to the Ped who said she has a flattened spot on her back right side. He said to try repositioning for two months and if there hasn't been progress at her 6 month appointment he would refer us to " the helmet people. " Within a week I noticed a slight tilt to her head and called for a referral to physical therapy for a torticollis evaluation. Sure enough, she's got mild tort and that's the reason it had been so difficult to reposition her head at night (she would fight and fight to keep it to the right). So we're making progress, but I want to be prepared for her 6 month Ped appointment, as I don't see her head shape changing with repositioning. I think we're headed for a band/helmet. Thank you for any help! And have a great weekend, everyone! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
