[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were referred to cranial technologies by the pediatrician because our 4 month year old daughter has a flat head from preferring one side while sleeping. They said she was evaluated as “severe” and you can see the ears being misaligned if you look top down. They recommended helmet therapy which will cost a few thousand dollars if insurance doesn’t cover it. They said if insurance covers it, it’ll be a couple hundred out of pocket. My question is, is this actually an issue we need to do something about? The whole experience gave off a weird predatory salesman vibe. I’ve read mixed opinions on this and see lots of folks saying it corrects on its own over time, and the helmet thing is a scam. I don’t know what to believe. I’d rather not waste hundreds of dollars on this if it’s completely unnecessary [/quote] You need PT for torticollis as well most likely. Dont just use the helmet. [/quote]
