In recent years, the topic of infant tongue-tie surgery—also known as tethered oral tissue—has sparked significant debate. While it’s easy to assume that tethered oral tissue is the root cause of feeding difficulties, other anatomical structures may also contribute to the problem.

Chiropractic care not only supports motor skill development in the tongue and spine but also promotes optimal healing from birth-related stresses. If you suspect a tongue-tie, consulting a chiropractor, trained in the field, should be a fundamental part of your approach to successful breastfeeding.

As a Webster and perinatal certified chiropractor, there is so much more involved in our assessment and care than a regular patient. 🫶

Just a heads up on my upcoming break. This is the last week before I finish up on Saturday the 21st.

To all my wonderful patients, I feel so lucky and blessed that you entrust me with your care. I look forward to many more years of looking after you. Thank you for all your support, big hugs and love over the Christmas and New Year.

Love,

Carla x

My latest read: The Myth of Normal: Trauma Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture, by Gabir Matè.

Wow 😮, incredibly insightful. There are lots of great pearls in here, and my favourite so far is "To truly 'raise' a child, then, would be to bring that child to his or her full potential as a human being. So why in our modern culture, do we chronically miss that goal?"

Can't wait to see him live in Feb.

P.s. I also have a new reading buddy 🐕🥰.

It is as gentle as this...

Did you know, in a 2015 literature review, research revealed there is little to no evidence of adverse events when an appropriate history, examination and techniques are employed based on age of babies and children for chiropractic care.

In 2016, Todd et al reviewed the literature on forces commonly used by chiropractors on children. Results revealed technique selection and application by chiropractors treating infants and young children are modified in force and speed to suit the age and development of the child.

🌟Super exciting research which was produced in 2024 by Li et al🌟.

The authors investigated manual therapy techniques for Primary Dysmenorrhea. Evidence showed that manual therapy for primary dysmenorrhea may demonstrate improved quality of life and pain compared to both oral NSAIDs or no treatment with minimal short-term adverse events.

Food for thought for those women with painful periods (in the absence of pelvic pathology) that keep reaching for anti-inflammatories and want to know if there are alternatives!

Have you ever wondered what the Webster Technique is? I use this with all my pregnant patients. A nice gentle approach to creating balance about the pelvis.

Adjusting families means being flexible and adapting to what Baby needs. Sometimes adjustments look like this, with me on the floor.
Sometimes they are on the chiro table and other times Baby will be resting on mum or dad. Anywhere, anyway is fine. For me, it's about making our little ones feel secure and safe when getting adjusted. 🫶
