Plagiocephaly
A fancy term for a misshapen skull, aka flat head syndrome. Unfortunately this happens to about 50% of newborn babies, and the numbers continue to rise. Education and accurate information can be hard to find, but we’ve got you covered.
Torticollis
Another fancy term- but this means tight neck, typically on one side.Torticollis and plagiocephaly are often related and treating the tight neck is a critical step to ensuring your baby’s development is on track.
Tummy Time
Not always fun, but very important. Tummy time is harder for babies with torticollis and oftentimes they need a little extra help- that’s where we come in!
Cranial Orthosis/Helmet
Up until now, this has been the go-to solution for correcting flat heads. Like everything, there are advantages and disadvantages. Let us spell it out for you, and possibly keep you out of one.
