Babies are born with soft, impressionable skulls to aid passage through the birth canal and accommodate the rapid growth that occurs in the brain during the first few years of life. When infants spend a lot of time sleeping with their heads in the same position, a positional plagiocephaly can develop because of the external pressures being exerted on the skull.

What Is Plagiocephaly?
Flat head syndrome or plagiocephaly occurs when a flat spot develops on the back or side of a baby’s head. The condition can cause the baby’s head to look asymmetrical.

Helmet Therapy
Helmet therapy works by applying gentle, continuous pressure to your baby’s developing skull throughout the day to promote even growth. It is completely painless and will not interfere with their everyday activities or ongoing development.

Cranial helmets are the only treatment that has been clinically proven to help infants achieve a more symmetrical head shape and therefore more symmetrical facial features. Check out Plagiocephaly Treatment in New Jersey

The helmet is made from light foam with a semi-flexible shell and molded to an accurate photographic scan of your baby’s head shape. It is often adjusted to direct the growth into the required areas.
