The London Prosthetics Centre now offers specialist orthotic care, including cranial remoulding helmets for infants with plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) or craniosynostosis, and chest braces for those with Pectus Carinatum and Pectus Excavatum. Delivered in partnership with Steeper Clinic, the high-quality orthotic care you know and love from Steeper is now available in London and further afield.
Starband Helmets at the London Prosthetics Centre
Provided in collaboration with Steeper Clinic, Starband cranial remoulding helmets can be used to treat Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and Craniosynostosis.
If you have tried tummy time or repositioning and the flattened areas do not show signs of improvement, we offer the world-leading Starband helmet/cranial remoulding orthosis treatment to gently guide growth and shape your baby’s head.
Throughout the treatment, our paediatric orthotist will make sure both you and your child feel supported and at ease, from the initial consultation, right through to treatment and aftercare.
This service is provided at the London Prosthetics Centre in collaboration with Steeper Clinic. If you are concerned about your child's head shape, head to the Steeper Clinic website for more information, or contact us today for advice on what to do next and to organise an assessment at our Leeds or London clinic location.
Non-Surgical Treatment of Pectus Carinatum
Pectus Carinatum is often described as ‘pigeon chest’, and usually occurs around the age of 11 years. It is a chest wall deformity caused by overgrowth of the cartilage on either side of the sternum, causing the wall of the chest to protrude or stick out. This can be present from birth but usually develops during the rapid growth of adolescence.
Provided in collaboration with Steeper Clinic, our specialist orthotists use non-surgical treatment methods to improve physical outcomes and patient confidence in those experiencing Pectus Carinatum.
Non-Surgical Treatment of Pectus Excavatum
Pectus Excavatum is often described as ‘sunken chest’, where the breastbone (sternum) is recessed into the chest. It is a chest wall deformity caused by abnormal growth of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum, pulling the chest inward rather than outward.
Provided in collaboration with Steeper Clinic, our specialist orthotists use non-surgical treatment methods to improve physical outcomes and patient confidence in those experiencing Pectus Excavatum.
