If your baby has been diagnosed with a cranial asymmetry like plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, or scaphocephaly, early and effective treatment can make a lasting difference in your child’s development and appearance. At Short Hills Cranial Center, we specialize in infant helmet therapy in New Jersey, offering custom-fit cranial helmets that are safe, gentle, and highly effective at correcting head shape during a baby’s critical growth period.
What Is Infant Helmet Therapy?
Infant helmet therapy involves the use of a custom-molded cranial orthosis — commonly referred to as a baby helmet — to guide the natural growth of a baby’s skull. This therapy is most effective between the ages of 4 to 12 months, when the bones of the skull are still malleable and growing rapidly.
The helmet works by applying gentle pressure to prominent areas of the head while allowing room for growth in the flatter regions, encouraging a more symmetrical shape over time.
Conditions Treated with Infant Helmets
At Short Hills Cranial Center, we provide personalized helmet therapy for:
- Plagiocephaly (flat spot on one side of the head)
- Brachycephaly (wide, short head shape)
- Scaphocephaly (long, narrow head shape)
- Torticollis-related asymmetry
Each condition is assessed using advanced, non-invasive 3D scanning to ensure accurate diagnosis and helmet design.
