Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Has anyone been to Orthotic Solutions in Fairfax, VA? Woodbridge, VAFrom: kimhester@... <kimhester@...>Subject: Re: DilemmaPlagiocephaly Date: Monday, October 19, 2009, 1:34 PM One thing my physical therapist told me we all have opinions on whether or not a baby should be in a band but we are not the experts in that field. You and your tech at cranial technologies really need to talk. Make sure they can jusify and that the pictures and measurments show a need for a second band. Mom of a beautiful banded baby girl > > I have a dilemma this week that is really bothering me. I had a picture study of my daughter's head on Tuesday. The results were amazing. She has made tremendous progress. A few things I still notice are 1) the ear asymmetry 2) the torticullis and 3) a little bulging on the upper left side of her head. Overall, I am so pleased with the results, however, CT wants to put her in a second band. Initially I was for it, as it can't hurt and I don't want to regret not banding later. > > Thursday she had her monthly Physical Therapy appointment. I brought in the photo study pictures/results from Tuesday to show the PT. He was really impressed as well. Then I told him that CT wants a second band. He was shocked. He said if it was his daughter, he would not do it. The current look of the torticullis in the pictures is a result of an ear infection this week. He said her neck muscle isn't even tight and the torticullis is almost gone. Also, this why the ear asymmetry in the pictures is so significant. He is having us take pictures of her every day for 2 weeks to make sure there is only a slight tilt and not extreme like the pictures indicated. The bulging area on the top of her head is an area that isn't even covered by the band. Therefore, he suggested that it would be silly to get another band and to spend all that money. Now I am second guessing everything again. > > Paige is 8 months old. She has been in the band for 3 months. I will try and figure out how to post pictures. > > Thanks for all of your responses (ahead of time). > > > Woodbridge, VA > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
