FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions parents ask us most often.
What is a cranial helmet and what is it used for?
A cranial helmet is a specially designed orthosis used to help improve an abnormal skull shape in babies.
How does cranial helmet therapy work?
A cranial helmet does not squeeze the head; it makes gentle contact with the more prominent areas and leaves space over the flattened areas, passively guiding the skull's natural growth into that space. This treatment can help the baby's head become more symmetrical.
Who is cranial helmet therapy suitable for?
Cranial helmet therapy may be considered for babies aged 3 to 18 months with a skull shape deformity. This requires your doctor's recommendation and assessment.
How long does cranial helmet therapy need to continue?
The length of treatment depends on the condition of the skull. It usually ranges from 3 months up to a maximum of 1 year.
Is a cranial helmet uncomfortable?
Because cranial helmets are designed to fit the baby's head precisely, they usually don't cause discomfort. However, some sweating or redness may occur at first, during the adjustment period.
