What is Plagiocephaly? Plagiocephaly is a condition that affects the shape of an infant's skull, causing it to appear flattened on one side. This condition can result from various factors, including a baby's position in the womb, using car seats or carriers, or spending too much time on their back. While plagiocephaly is typically a cosmetic issue and does not cause developmental delays or health problems, it can concern parents. Pediatric physical therapy can help parents with exercises and activities to promote neck muscle strength and prevent further skull flattening. Also, helmets may help reshape the head in more severe cases. By addressing plagiocephaly early on, parents can help ensure their child's head shape returns to normal and prevent potential long-term complications.
