medical risks to the DOC band?

[Guest guest]

We're going tomorrow for a consultation at Cranial Tech, for my 5 1/2 month old

son who has mild to moderate brachy. I'm wondering about whether anyone has

information or articles they can direct me towards, on what are the medical

risks of the DOC band? My main concern is, can it affect brain development since

it's putting pressure on the skull. Is there any way it could limit the baby's

brain growth? I know they check it regularly and adjust it etc, but still -- is

there a risk? Thanks for any insights and for pointing me towards any studies to

check out!

We are under the care of a neurosurgeon. He has absolutely no concern about

anything like that. There is very very little pressure applied to the head. I

think you will feel more comfortable as you learn more about how it works.
