Lunar Chiropractic

28/11/2025

Kids don't need forceful, scary adjustments to feel better - in fact, paediatric chiropractic care is incredibly gentle. We use light, age appropriate techniques that support their nervous system, help their little bodies unwind tension and bring everything back into balance.

When their posture improves, their bodies calm and their nervous system can finally stop working in over drive... that's when we start to see the. magic: better sleep, smoother moods, easier movement and happier kids overall.

If you're curious about the techniques we use on kids please don't hesitate to reach out and we can discuss these with you further.

Wonderful meeting so many like minded colleagues in the Oro myotherapy field. Analysing research on tongue, lip and buccal ties. Can’t wait to share some updates with you all this week x

It was wonderful to meet paediatric dentist and tongue-tie researcher Dr Ray Tseng from North Carolina, and to learn more about his inspiring work - collecting extensive data in his multidisciplinary private practice and the research he’s published to date with local speech pathologist Sharon Smart. I look forward to hearing more about their ongoing work at Tongue Time in Switzerland next January.

It was also a pleasure to spend time over dinner chatting to colleagues who share a commitment to ongoing education in myofunctional therapy and tongue-tie. It's an exciting time to have more passionate and local clinicians on the same page!

Myospots/myomunchies and lip taping.

At rest, we should have our mouths closed, breathing through our noses, with our tongue resting on the roof of our palate. In children this tongue position helps support the optimal growth of the skull whilst also stimulating the vagus nerve (the calming nerve). In adults this allows us to breathe through our nose meaning we get optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide saturation. Optimal oxygen means a healthy and thriving body.

So how often do we see kids who mouth breathe? Adults who snore? Teeth grinders?

There are a lot of tools out there to help but first let’s get to the root cause.

Things like tongue tie, low muscle tone, thumb sucking, dysfunction in the neck and cranium, orthodontics etc can all play a role.

So let’s make sure your cervical spine is working well, the cranial bones are moving optimally and your tongue has enough strength to sit where it should. Then we can use some tools like myospots, myomunchies, mouth tape and a barrage of exercises to help strength the tongue and allow the lips to learn how to seal.

These things on their own may give a small assistance to breathing, but generally a multifaceted approach to functional breathing is the best course.

Dr Louise is out of office today as she is attending a four day seminar on Oro-Myotherapy.

Oro-Myotherapy is an incredible field of medicine focusing on how we breathe and the function of the face and mouth within this. We often see dysfunction here in children with tongue-tie, kids who open mouth breathe, kids with hyperactivity etc etc

Taking a deep dive and learning from the best. Dr Louise is looking forward to sharing all of this information with you soon.
