Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Everyone! I am new here, but have been following your posts for about 2 weeks. My son is now 4 ½ months old and just got his Doc Band on Friday (3/4/11) from Cranial Technologies. He has been in physical therapy since about 4 weeks old for Torticollis, but up until recently would only sleep on his left side. Even though we started PT pretty early on and tried as much as possible to try position him on his right side he has ended up with Plagiocephaly. Cranial Technologies says they would put him in the extreme/severe category and have said they think he is going to need two bands (which we will have to pay for out of pocket). I have a few questions on how the band should fit at this point. He still pretty much will only sleep with his head to the left unless you repositioning him and there are 2 red marks on the left side of his head that don't fade within an hour of taking the band off, or even within 2 or 3 hours at times. The marks seem to be from where the two ends touch his head near the strap.So I have had to leave the band off for a good amount of the weekend since CT isn't open on the weekends. How many of you had this issue when first getting the band? I also wanted to know how much the band should move when on his head. It seems like it can move in either direction a good bit on his head. I was just thinking it would be more of a snug fit and not have so much moving to it. We go to Cranial Technologies in ndale, VA, does anyone have experience with them? Any feed back on these issues would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
