How does a cranial helmet start?
Bryan takes us behind the scenes to explain how we use the STAR Scanner to capture a precise 3D image of a baby's head in just a few seconds. The process is quick, non-invasive, and helps us gather the information needed to design a custom cranial orthosis for each child.
Many parents are surprised to learn that the scan doesn't involve radiation, discomfort, or lengthy appointments. It's simply a fast and accurate way to measure head shape and monitor progress throughout treatment.
At Leimkuehler OP Center, we believe education is just as important as treatment. The more families understand the process, the more confident they can feel about their child's care.
