Making remolding Baby Helmets with STARscanner cranial technology

STEP ONE.  At the initial evaluation a 2-second STARscan of baby's head is acquired.  The computer will take measurements to determine the severity. If the shape is classified as severe, a STARband will be recommended.

    Anna Erickson, OTR/L, specializes exclusively in cranial remolding treatment. She has completed the Orthomerica All-Star training.  The patient's she sees have excellent results with their head shape and the families are uniformly very pleased with the care and outcome of the treatment she provides.  All babies seem to adore her!
