Newbie...Where to go in Ohio?

February 5, 2010

Hi, I'm new here. My son is 5 1/2 months old and had torticollis that has been

taken care of (he has normal neck movement range now) but his head is pretty

misshapen from it. After talking to a few folks, I'm thinking he needs a

cranial band. His 6m pediatrician appointment is 2/17/10, but I've been trying

to find more information before we see our pediatrician.

So, where can I go for cranial banding in Ohio? I live in the Columbus area. I

searched the archives and it seems that no one recommends the folks at Columbus

Childrens Hospital. A friend recommended Straight Ahead Pediatric Physical

Therapy in Cleveland (her son had a DOC band there 3 years ago), but as far as I

can tell, they no longer do the DOC band there. I made a consultation

appointment with Hanger Orthotics in Columbus for 2/19/10. Anyone have

experience with them?

Anyone have any other suggestions for where to go in Ohio? I'm willing to

travel anywhere in Ohio, but would prefer to stay in either Columbus or

Cleveland area (my family is in Cleveland).

Here's a picture of my son's head:

It's flat on the right back side and bulges in the back left. It doesn't seem

to affect the front of his head much. I think his ears are slightly misaligned.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

( & baby )
