Choosing the Right Plagiocephaly Therapy:
A Guide for Parents

Deciding on a plagiocephaly therapy involves understanding the options available and consulting with healthcare professionals to determine the best course for your child. Therapy range from repositioning techniques and physical therapy to specialized helmet therapy for more severe cases.

Key considerations for parents include:

• Severity of the condition. The therapy approach may vary based on the severity and cause of the plagiocephaly.
• Age of the child. Earlier interventions can often be less invasive and more effective, as the infant's skull is more malleable during the first few months.
• Consultation with specialists. A pediatrician, pediatric neurosurgeon, or a chiropractor specialized in pediatrics can offer advice tailored to your child's needs.

Understanding these aspects and actively participating in your child's therapy plan can significantly impact the effectiveness of plagiocephaly interventions. The goal is always to support healthy growth and development, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your child.
