Treatment for Plagiocephaly
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2015
- Among the many great things happening in this chapter of my life, I have been fortunate to have a dramatic influx of new patients that are babies, children, and youth. This is something I have been intentionally cultivating, as I have skills that can be of great help to their growth and development and I particularly enjoy working with them.
I am particularly grateful to the pediatricians who have been making these referrals and to a mom who blogged about her child’s experience with me when I treated his Plagiocephaly. Her blog has become extremely popular on Pintrest. She graciously gave me permission to put the link to “How we squeezed my baby’s head to avoid a helmet” on my website. It is in the links section or you can find it here: naptimetales.com/2014/02/how-w...
Since many parents and doctors are not familiar with Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine or Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, they have many questions about what I do and what visits with me will be like for their children. I asked my Media specialist who runs my website and has a bachelors degree in Film to make the following video that addresses many of the frequently asked questions parents ask when they call to schedule appointments for their children.
Thanks to Kelsey Grimshaw, who filmed and edited this video, and to the children and their parents who gave permission for me to use footage obtained during regular appointments this month. Both of the children shown have seen me a number of times now and are nearing completion of their course of treatment.
There is more information about my practice and methods in the FAQ section of the website at www.oldtowndoc.com/. You are always welcome to call with questions and talk with Jenna, too.

Hello doctor, upto how many months old baby with plagiocephaly can you treat?
Hello doctor my baby's forhead bulging so what can I do please help me my baby is 5 month old
This video is wonderful. I am a first time mama. My almost 10 month old was diagnosed by cranial technologies with torticollis, moderate severe plagiocephaly and brachycephaly with facial asymmetry. He is very advanced for his age also having a full head of hair. But during bath time the flatness stuck out to us MOST. His pediatrician constantly refused to give us a referral to them stating it isn't necessary, his facial features aren't being affected and showed me photos of babies in the most severe cases which he is almost at..and I just found out a week ago. I noticed these issues at about 2/3 months and she told me it'll all get better (the flatness) when he became mobile and that happened at 3/4 months. It is STILL the same. I was told by the specialist that helmet treatment is a MUST and there is nothing that could fix this and it definitely won't happen on it's own. He also needs physical therapy for the tightened neck muscles on one side reason for him hold his head on one direction causing this issue. Is this considered medical malpractice on the pediatricians part? Delayed or wrongful diagnosis? Dad and I have been super sad since we have found out. I am ashamed to have put my trust in her over my own intuition. I'm happy these babies in this video are getting the help they need it makes my heart happy.

My baby has the same head shape as the baby in red in this video and I am researching more about osteopathy in treating plagiocephaly, My question is: how many sessions did someone with the head shape like the baby in red need? I am comparing prices and length of treatment with the helmet.
Mar Sol, it can really depend on the severity of the plagiocephaly, and how well the baby responds to treatment. The baby in red had 6-7 treatments, but there are many factors that determine how quickly changes come about, so this shouldn't be used as a barometer of how many treatments your child would need. We have seen babies for as little as 2 treatments, or as many as 8-9 treatments. Hope this helps!
Doctor my daughter is 2 and half year i know its late but my daughter has same uneven head will it become round now i m so worried about it if there is any chance to make it round by any method

And his weight is 22 lb 11oz and height is 29’ . Just trying to give my best to having a normal life for my baby.

Hi. Have you heard about Mimos Pillow? If yes, is it true that it can treat the plagiocephaly? Appreciate your comment.
Yes, and the few parents who have used it that I have seen have felt is was beneficial.

Yes it does help, but not as fast as a helmet would. And with plagiocelphaly time is limited as the skull heals at around one. Don't listen to doctors who try to tell you not to helmet and that it will fix itself It's outdated advice.
dr my 16 month old baby boy has abump on back side of head is it normal pls reply me dr lam worry about
Sorry, I think you will need to have a doctor take a look at that..
Dr. G
hi dr..have u ever treated plagiocephaly on kids more than 2.5 years old...many osteopath or NCR pretend that they could help but so slow
Its to late you should have done something before 2 years old the sutures are closed amd the deformity is permanent. Also osteopaths only try to mold babys heads but it doesnt do jackshit for cranial base asymmetry wich is the main problem
You can still try helmet but the result won't be fast or complete...If his case isn't severe then it will completely disapear with time.
@@jeannewambo6959 dear no one accepted here to helmet so now he is near 4 and i can see the asymetry but no dr push to help.now it is late and said it is no matter actually it is bog matter
do you know of anyone in Wisconsin who does what you do?

Hello doctor
My son is 6months old
His head is flat on his left side of the head
What should we do to get his head back to his shape
We were trying tummy time n different positions but it's not helping
Can you please help me out
Thanks
Helmet therapy is the best option and the only one imo. Im a adult with deformational plagiocephaly who also studying this type of deformitys. Positional plagiocephaly is a really complex matter and osteopaths cant really fix cranial base deviation wich is what causes the face deformity and twist. Only if your child has torticollis i would recommend a osteopath but a helmet is really necessary. Your lucky because your child is 6 months old after 2 years its permanent causing severe deformity
Kya apak baby ka head sahi ho gaya
Dr my son's head is flat.... He s 10 month old baby... Is anybody there in india doing the same treatment as you do? Please tell me dr
Did you done anything to his head
Hello doctor.... does this treatment work for 16 month old?
No only helmet therapy works pushing a skull wont fix cranial deviation and posterior and anterior fossa at all. Never listen to a osteopath or peditrician about such stuff its a deformity way above there paygrade.
Goal head straight
Dr where do you live?like your job
