Weekly Adjustments vs. Monthly Adjustments

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am new here...been lurking for a few days. My daughter will be 4 months old on

the 12th of July and has a moderately mishapen head in the terms of our physical

therapist (she is a twin...and it's probably a result of intrauterine

restriction...she was the one that was 'stuck' most of the time). It is pushing

her right ear and right forehead forwards and we have been repositioning since 2

month appt. She does not have any visual assymetry to the eyes or the cheek

bones though. We were referred to a craniofacialist at Riley and i have been in

discussion with both a Starband provider in Indianapolis and a Cranial Tech

facility in the Chicago suburbs. The Cranial tech facility said at her age she

would require weekly adjustments. The starband provider said after her first

week appt (after the adjustment period) she would come back monthly. That is

quite a difference...the orthotist for the starband helmet has 2 years

experience (i have spoken with him personally).

What do you all think of this? Is a monthly adjustment period for a child this

age too far out...or is the weekly adjustment period just too much? We have our

eval with the starband provider next week (they are doing a home visit with the

scanner even) and I would really like to go to the cranial tech for an eval and

meet them too. Cranial Tech provider would be about an hour more of a drive (1

1/2 vs. 2 1/2 hours). My parents have offered to help with the drives... Both

are covered under our insurance.

Thanks for your advice ahead of time!
