Since discovering that putting your baby to sleep on his or her back significantly decreases SIDS, the occurrence of deformational plagiocephaly has increased from 1 out of 300 infants to an estimated 48%.  

​

Being able to increase your babies range of motion and other unseen muscle tensions and conditions, such as torticollis, can significantly prevent and treat flattened heads.

​

It was once thought that an asymmetrical skull was solely an aesthetic problem, however research has shown that infants with flattened head syndrome may be at risk for a delay in the acquisition of certain motor skills.

​

Studies have shown that in most cases chiropractic treatment can help cure flat head syndrome without the need of a helmet.
