For over 35 years, we've refined our plagiocephaly treatment process using clinical research and results. Here's a step-by-step of what you can expect if your family decides to pursue helmet therapy.
During your no cost evaluation, our highly-trained clinicians will assess your baby's head shape and provide families with a recommendation regarding treatment.
If you decide to move forward with treatment, we'll use Digital Surface Imaging® to capture a precise image of your baby's head. This helps create a custom band for optimal correction.
1-2 weeks after the imaging appointment, your baby’s DOC Band will be ready for fitting! We’ll carefully check the fit, and if needed, further customize the band at the appointment.
The DOC Band utilizes an active treatment method which actively redirects head growth. Adjustments are made to the band every 1-2 weeks to account for head growth and reshaping.
Rejoice, your little one has made it! When our clinicians and you have determined your desired results have been achieved, another 3D image of your baby’s head shape will be taken to show the improvement over the course of treatment.
Understanding the best course of treatment for your baby starts with being proactive.
Most head growth occurs within the first 6 monthsBeginning treatment sooner results in faster treatment time and better outcomes
