Cranial Orthotics 

Cranial helmets are specialized orthotic devices used to treat infant head shape deformities such as plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly. They gently guide skull growth into a natural shape by applying light, targeted pressure to prominent areas while leaving space where growth is needed.

Who Can Benefit:

• Infants with flat head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly)
• Infants with asymmetrical skull shapes
• Babies with brachycephaly (shortened back of the head) or scaphocephaly (long, narrow head)

Benefits:

• Corrects skull shape effectively and safely
• Protects the skull while improving appearance
• Comfortable for extended wear
• Non-invasive treatment with high success rates
• Typical treatment duration: 3–4 months, depending on age and severity

Our Process

• Early Head Screening: Initial evaluation to identify head shape concerns.
• 3D Assessment & Scan: Precise measurement of the infant’s skull for custom fitting.
• Start Helmet Therapy: Initiated if no improvement is seen by 5 months of age.
• Custom Helmet Fabrication: Helmet ready within approximately 2 weeks.
• Follow-Ups:
  • 1 week after fitting
  • 2 weeks after fitting
  • Then every 4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust fit
• Final Discharge Scan: After approximately 4 months, to confirm treatment success.
