Understanding Cranial Deformities
Cranial deformities, such as plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly, can be concerning for parents. However, they are relatively common and often treatable. These conditions occur when a baby's soft skull takes on an unusual shape due to external pressure or early suture fusion.
Our goal is to provide solutions that not only correct your baby's head shape but also give you peace of mind. Early intervention, such as the use of splints, can make a world of difference.
Signs to Look For
As a parent, you are the first to notice your baby’s development. Here are some signs to watch for:
-
A flat spot on one side of the head (plagiocephaly).
-
A head that looks wide and flat from the back (brachycephaly).
A long and narrow head shape (scaphocephaly).
If you notice these or any asymmetries, we recommend consulting your pediatrician or a specialist. The earlier these conditions are addressed, the more effective the treatment.
How Splints Can Help
Splints are custom-designed devices that gently guide your baby's skull into a more natural shape. They work by applying light, even pressure to specific areas while allowing room for growth in others.
-
Comfortable and Safe: Our splints are made from lightweight, baby-safe materials.
-
Non-Invasive: They provide a gentle correction without the need for surgery.
-
Tailored to Your Baby: Each splint is custom-fitted for maximum effectiveness and comfort.
Your Role as a Parent
Parents play a vital role in their baby’s treatment journey. Here’s how you can help:
-
Encourage Tummy Time: This reduces pressure on the back of your baby’s head and strengthens neck muscles.
-
Monitor Progress: Regularly check your baby’s head shape and keep notes to share with your healthcare provider.
-
Stay Committed to Treatment: Wearing the splint as recommended will ensure the best results.
