It is estimated that 1 in 5 babies have some degree of head shape asymmetry, or plagiocephaly, also known as “flat head syndrome”. Plagiocephaly can be the result of a baby’s in utero positioning, torticollis (tightening of the neck muscle), or even prolonged periods of time spent on their backs while sleeping and in carriers. The STAR Cranial Center of Excellence specializes in treating these babies, and helping their beautiful heads become more symmetrical.
The STAR Cranial Center of Excellence uses the STARscanner laser data acquisition system — the latest scanning technology for the fastest and most accurate head-shape data collection.

Kaden's Mom's Story
Early in my pregnancy with Kaden, my doctor and I discovered that he had already wedged himself head-down in my pelvis. The specialist said that he wasn’t going anywhere, and to just expect to be uncomfortable! I was, and it was a very hot summer, but he was worth it...he was born two weeks early weighing 8 lbs., 2 oz. on Sept. 28th, 2006 and
was perfect- almost!
