It is quite common for infants to develop minor cranial deformities between 3-18 months. Thankfully, now there is flat head treatment in New Jersey available! Cranial shaping helmets are often used to treat a flat head syndrome and a variety of other minor cranial deformities in infants such as Plagiocephaly, Brachycephaly, Scaphocephaly, and Postoperative craniosynostosis.
Since baby’s skulls are
quite soft, they can easily change shape with repeated pressure in one location
without causing any harm to them. These deformities may be caused by a range of
reasons, including:
Too much time spent lying
on the back may cause the back of the head to flatten, either on one side or
across the entire head. Narrow space in the womb may be caused by twins taking
up additional space in the womb or low levels of amniotic fluid. Premature birth may cause skull changes as
the head will be compressed during birth when it is not fully developed. A
congenital condition is known as craniosynostosis.
