Cranial asymmetry in infants, commonly known as flat head syndrome, is a growing concern for many parents. The good news is that safe, effective, and non-invasive treatments are available—and families in New Jersey have access to expert care through Short Hills Cranial Center. With a focus on pediatric helmet therapy, we are proud to support healthy head shape development for babies across the region.

What Is Flat Head Syndrome?

Flat head syndrome, or positional plagiocephaly, often develops when a baby’s head flattens due to consistent pressure on one part of the skull. It can occur for a variety of reasons, including time spent lying in one position or limited movement in the neck. While this condition does not affect brain development, it can alter a child’s head shape if left untreated.

How Helmet Therapy Helps

We specialise in the use of custom cranial helmets that gently guide the baby’s head into a more symmetrical shape. This non-surgical treatment is tailored to each child’s needs, typically beginning between 4 and 6 months of age when the skull is still soft and responsive. The earlier flat head treatment New Jersey is initiated, the more effective the results tend to be.

Why Parents Choose Us

Families choose our clinic not only for our clinical expertise but also for our compassionate approach. We work closely with parents throughout the treatment journey—answering questions, tracking progress, and adjusting helmets as needed. Our on-site scanning technology ensures precision in every custom fit, with no discomfort for the child.

What to Expect During Treatment

The process begins with a detailed evaluation, followed by digital imaging to create a perfectly fitted orthotic helmet. Each helmet is designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and effective, with regular check-ins to monitor improvements and make necessary adjustments. Our team remains in close contact to support families at every step, from initial consultation to final results.
