Recently dispensed from our Vancouver office: a pediatric cranial remoulding orthosis, commonly known as a helmet for babies. 🩷💙
Cranial remoulding orthoses are custom-made to help gently guide the head shape as a baby grows. They may be recommended when a child has moderate to severe flattening or asymmetry that does not improve enough with repositioning, tummy time, or physiotherapy.
At Pentland’s, we provide free assessments with a physician’s prescription. For families with BC MSP, provincial health coverage may be available for eligible cases.
Early assessment is important, as treatment is most effective while the baby’s skull is still growing quickly.
Supporting children and their families is a special part of what we do. We know that starting helmet treatment can feel overwhelming at first, so our goal is to make the process as clear, comfortable, and reassuring as possible for both parents and little ones. 👶✨
