SummaryPlagiocephaly, or flathead syndrome, can start in utero and typically occurs within the first month or two of life. The back-to-sleep campaign to prevent SIDS has contributed to the increase in plagiocephaly cases. The pressure on one spot of the head from sleeping on the back and using certain equipment can lead to a flat head shape. Early intervention through physical therapy and chiropractic care is crucial to prevent and correct plagiocephaly. Delayed motor skills, vision alignment issues, and increased risk of ear infections are some of the potential consequences of untreated plagiocephaly. Early prevention and treatment can have a significant impact on a child's development and overall well-being.
