If you have seen a baby in headgear before, you might
have wondered why the infant was using what looks like a helmet. This “helmet therapy” is also known as a
cranial orthotic which treats irregular head shapes. The bones and skulls of a newborn are soft
and flexible. The helmets reshape the head
if a flat spot occurs. The most common
use is to treat positional plagiocephaly.
Short Hills Cranial Center is a premier healthcare site
in New Jersey. We are dedicated to
treating babies who are diagnosed with plagiocephaly. Our mission is to give treatment
to infants with this condition by providing cranial helmets in New York. We also provide toddler cranial helmets in New Jersey. Each helmet is custom designed to ensure a
proper fit. We use state-of-the-art
