We are highly experienced with cranial band treatment and also seek to understand the underlying reasons of head shape, not all infants need a cranial band.
In 2018, of all the babies that came through our doors, 27% needed a cranial band.
Our goal is to help your infant get the best and most thorough end result as cost effectively as possible.
That means, our highly specialized therapists were able to help 73% of the babies we served through various
forms of occupational and physical therapy.
Note: It becomes even more likely a cranial band will not be needed when we see a baby early (4-8 weeks of age).

CRANIAL BANDS
Cranial band is a term that can be used interchangeably with cranial orthotic or baby helmet. Cranial banding reshapes the skull and improves an abnormal head shape and jaw alignment from common conditions like plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and torticollis.
In the case of the Ballert cranial band utilized here, it is a dynamic device (a device that applies a low energy load to constrain and correct abnormal growth) that has a single lateral opening on the side adjacent to the flattened occipital-parieto region and an opening on top for air flow. The Ballert cranial band is very light in weight some as little as 4.6 ounces.
