Your baby was just diagnosed with a positional skull deformity. Now what?
Positional skull deformities can be caused by various reasons, such as conditions in the womb, prematurity, sleeping position or overuse of carriers. The great news is that there are treatment options available. After consulting with your pediatrician, you may be referred to a craniofacial specialist, such as the team at Pediatrix® Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Savannah, which offers a cranial remolding orthosis (helmet therapy) program. The program includes Pediatrix clinicians who create custom-made cranial-remolding helmets using FDA-approved STARscannerTM and SmartSoc® technology. During the course of treatment, the helmets provide a comfortable fit for your baby while allowing the skull to grow and reshape.
Learn more about the Pediatrix Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Savannah cranial remolding orthosis program, and schedule a consultation here.
Endocrinologists are healthcare providers who specialize in the certain organs and hormone-producing glands in the body that manage your body’s hormones. These specialists can diagnose, treat, and manage any conditions related to your hormones.
Equally important to finding a great endocrinologist is ensuring your medical team is all on the same page. SouthCoast Health has an integrated network of providers, so SouthCoast Health general practitioners and specialists collaborate to provide cohesive, convenient care. Schedule your visit online or make an appointment by calling 912.691.3600.
