When Paul was born, Jordyn noticed a flat spot (plagiocephaly) on his head in the first week. As many as 1 in 2 babies are estimated to have some degree of plagiocephaly. When you notice flatness, it’s important that you take action early, contact a treatment provider like Cranial Technologies to get the answers you need to help you decide what is best for your child.
Paul's journey began at one of Cranial Technologies' 100+ clinics, supported by licensed clinicians experienced in treating hundreds of cases per year. During the free consultation, all Jordyn's questions were thoroughly addressed.
Based on the evaluation, Jordyn decided to begin treatment with the DOC Band. The DOC Band seamlessly integrated into their daily routine, and did not cause any discomfort.
Paul's personality shined through, and DOC Band treatment did not affect his ability to achieve developmental milestones. In just 5.5 months, we rehaped Paul's future.
"I went with my mom gut and got an evaluation. Paul had a SEVERE flat spot. Speak up when you think something is not right. You do NOT need permission for a free evaluation."
