Most Common Causes of Plagiocephaly and What You Can Do About It

In this video from Dr. Drake, you will learn the causes of plagiocephaly, how to get to the root of it all, and tips to help! Here’s a sneak peek: Did you know that one of the most common and often overlooked causes of plagiocephaly is birth trauma?!

We encourage you to keep looking beyond those options until you find the ones that truly do get to the root cause. 💪 Watch this video to find out more and if you have any other questions, we are happy to help! ♥️
