Helping your baby have a health head shape takes some extra work sometimes. Parents start to worry if the flat spot on their skull is “normal” and then talk to the doctor. The doctor may say it is nothing or may recommended a special treatment to reshape the skull as it grows.
A head that flat or misshapen is called plagiocephaly. If a baby has been diagnosed with plagiocephaly, it may require intervention, causing parents to research flat head treatment in New Jersey. Short Hills Cranial Center is here to help.
Plagiocephaly can happen due to womb crowding. It can also happen because an infant spends too much time in one position. Sometimes other circumstances like brain malformation or unilateral sutural synostosis are to blame.
There are cases of deformational plagiocephaly that can improve after birth. If it doesn’t, an infant helmet in New Jersey may be the next recommendation.
The goal of the therapy is to provide a safe space for the skull to grow into a healthy shape. We ensure there isn’t pressure on the baby’s skull, so the infant isn’t uncomfortable or in pain. Instead, just proper growth is promoted. Measurements will be taken as well.
In this world, an early diagnosis can make a big difference. Don’t let plagiocephaly get in the way of your baby’s healthy future. Contact the center today for assistance.
