Sometimes babies are born with, or develop flat spots around the back or side of their head. Their…read moreskull is still soft and growing, and sleeping too much on one side can cause this. Having flat spots don't impact brain development, and its more of a cosmetic issue when the baby gets older. To correct this, our pediatrician recommended physical therapy and helmet therapy. Helmet therapy isn't as scary as it sounds. The orthotist, Bobby Smith is great with kids and explained the process well. First the child's head is scanned with a STARscanner to develop 3D and 2D profiles of the head. They then develop a helmet for your child to eventually wear 23 hours/day for several months. You have dozens of cool colors and designs to choose from! Follow-up appointments every 2 to 4 weeks for rescan. I'm happy to see that for about a month, my son's flatness level decreased from "severe" to "moderate." Hopefully after a month or two it'll be in the "normal" category. The helmet isn't too bad for babies and they seem to get used to it quickly. Occasionally, you'll need to take it off for a few minutes if there's too much itching. The other aspects of helmet treatment are: * Protects the baby against falls when they sit too long or bump when on their tummy * Their head butts are going to hurt you more, so watch out * Surprisingly they sleep incredibly well with the helmet - perhaps because the head is well cushioned. * Provides extra head warmth - great for fall and winter but not for summer.

Glad to report that it worked fantastically for me. I have had zero foot discomfort since using them. I am an avid tennis player (4-5 times a week) who was experiencing occasional plantar fasciitis. I have low arches and would also get pain/soreness from just standing upright for a few minutes. I had been using Superfeet insoles with mixed results. I called and was able to get in the same day. The appointment was fine, he doesn't rush you, he seems like he knows what he's doing, he's a nice person etc (but honestly I only care about results, if the orthotics work or not). One set of orthotics was $200, plus $20 because I needed a cushion. I bought two sets, and he discounted the second set to $170, and didn't charge for a second cushion. So in total for 2 sets it was $390 (plus tax). Superfeet insoles cost about $50 and last 6 months, while these theoretically last forever and were much more effective, so it seems like a good deal to me. I paid with HSA. Overall, I'm very happy with the results, and am glad to be pain free.

I have had prescription orthotics approved before from another place but since I was referred here by my doctor I wanted to go and check. Absolutely WASTE OF TIME. I came in approx 15 mins before my appointment and I had to wait additional 45 min to be seen (red flag #1), also on their form it is asking me to sign to pay $500++ on orthotics if not covered (red flag #2). Then when I saw the 'clown' doctor he basically said "probably with my insurance it is not covered. He said they take digital measurements of my foot and I asked if I can take that measurement of my own foot to another place and he said no. So, my insurance will probably be charged for that darn digital measurement of my own foot BUT i cannot take it with me to another place to get it done less than their darn $500++. So, I left in dismay and know and behold they text me the next day to come back because insurance approved!! Heck-No! Why cannot they check before I went? Why is pre-authorization not possible. I think this place if full of clowns. Just wanting to suck money from insurance. This is not my 1st time to go here. 1st was when I went for 2nd opinion for a foot surgery. I should have not gone back 2nd time when I was referred again. WASTE OF TIME. Go some place else. Not good service. Not good care.
