We NATURALLY help infants get a rounded head without a helmet, reducing parent stress, while simultaneously addressing torticollis, reflux, colic, constipation and difficulty breastfeeding, all from ONE board certified holistic physician.

Are you worried that your baby’s head is not shaped correctly? Are you worried about your infant with a flat head? Have you been looking up baby helmets for flat heads? It’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own.

Many of our patients just like you felt like failures for having children with flat spots despite changing crib positions, tummy time, placement in the tub, and the “typical” pediatrician talk about helmets. Some shared the fear of family and strangers judging them. “What’s wrong with your baby?” “What did you do wrong?” What happened to him?”

There are many reasons why this could have happened, and firstly this is not your fault that it doesn’t seem to be getting better. If this is happening to you, you are not alone – and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, infant plagiocpehaly and torticolllis are THE most common problems we see in our osteopathic clinic in Houston.

And when it comes to living with your child’s head shape and progression through the milestones, everybody we see typically have fears of family and strangers judging them by saying things like:

What is Wrong With Your Baby?… or, What Did You Do Wrong, Or What Happened To Him (After Many Months)?

Most people think that when their kids get flat heads or twisted necks, it’s either just going to go away on it’s own or are desperate to find out safe credible options to help treat your most prized possession . Sometimes they will try PT, attempt a helmet, or maybe even look for a chiropractor without knowing all available options. Hopping they will wake up one morning and like magic, it’ll be as if the flat spots and/or twisted neck never happened. But then months later you’re still living with same problem – often even worse than it was when it came on.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our osteopathic clinic is when people go to the cranial molding clinics, and the salesperson makes them feel sold to. Only to find out later the recommendation for a helmet wasn’t clinically necessary. If only they had confirmed the reviews on Glassdoor showing the amount of training the salespeople get and the corparate pressure to meet sales quotas aren’t always in your best interest.

Not surprisingly, many parents don’t know any other alternatives, and continue with treatment 23 hours a day in the brutal Houston summers. Some parents have complained about second degree burns on their child, and end up looking for a faster way to accelarate getting out of the cranial helmet. Worse, they’re sometimes required multiple expensive helmets, and advised to wear it LONGER because there is a finite amount of time available to fix the problem. This is putting a band aid on the root problem and explains why so may parents are stressed out and don’t know where to turn for their children with plagiocephaly and/or torticollis.

Why else does plagiocephaly and/or toriticollis happen? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice – but not all of it is credible.

Maybe you think your child’s flat head or twisted neck was caused by something you did – like not changing crib positions, not enough tummy time, or the placement in the tub – but most commonly plagiocephaly was caused by birth trauma or following the advice of your pediatrician to prevent SIDS by placing your child on their back. If you look at the data, the start of the “back to sleep campaign” shows a direct correlation between the number of plagiocephaly cases. The flat head can easily be an EFFECT of just following best practices to keep your kiddo safe. If you don’t know what you’re doing – plagiocephaly can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up frustrated and aren’t sure where to turn. Accepting the best they could do as part of life – as if it’s normal, and just the way it is.

Do You Feel That Way Too?

If Your Infant Currently Has Plogiocephaly or Torticollis, Here are 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

• You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t
• You are looking for an alternative to the helmet – but just don’t know what is credible out there
• You went to the Cranial Helmet store who made you feel like it was a hard sales pitch
• A family member, or friend, made snarky remarks asking what did you do to your child, or the typical football player comments, so you just started to accept it
• You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or a chiropractor in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help
• If any of these have happened to you – we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with our osteopath here in Montrose to find out what can be done to help you.

“What Can I Do To Reduce MY Child’s Plagiocephaly?…

Well, here’s 3 things you can do:

• First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that Plagiocephaly will just go away with time, but then six years down the end up regretting the fact the glasses don’t fit properly, Or it gets worse
• Understand this is safe. In May 2006, The “Gold Standard” for board certified physicians, The American Journal of Pediatrics said, “Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), particularly Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, is safe, effective, and well-tolerated in treating plagiocephaly, torticollis, and many other clinical conditions in children… Those of us who use the osteopathic approach to medicine rarely need to refer our patients for physical therapy or orthotics.”
• Get real, hands-on Osteopathic Treatment- Osteopathy is proven to help infants with plagiocephaly. In fact, at Osteopathic Healing Hands it’s one of the most common injuries we see. It is common for parents to bring us their kids from across the state of Texas for treatment.
