Tongue tie has become a trendy diagnosis in recent years, initially identified as a cause of latching disorders. However, it's now often cited as a reason for various unclear issues, leading to frenulum cutting even in the absence of latching disorders. This has spawned numerous myths and misconceptions. Moreover, surgery can potentially leave children with lasting consequences.

Osteopathic medicine offers a holistic approach to treating tongue tie and related issues. By using gentle, non-invasive techniques, Osteopaths can help improve tongue mobility and overall oral function. This approach can potentially alleviate symptoms without the need for surgery.

Think of your body like a machine. If a part of the machine is out of place or not working right, the whole machine might not work properly.

Osteopathy looks at how the different parts of your body fit together and work together. If something is out of alignment, it can cause problems. By fixing these structural issues, osteopaths aim to help your body work better and feel better.

Q: I've been experiencing knee pain lately. Will treating just my knee be enough to resolve the issue?

A: Unfortunately, no. Knee pain is often a symptom of a larger issue, and treating just the knee may not address the underlying cause. The knee is a complex joint that's influenced by the hips, ankles, lower back, spine, shoulders, jaw, and even the way we move and function. Issues in these areas can cause compensatory patterns that put uneven stress on the knee, leading to pain.

Q: How does osteopathic treatment view knee pain?.

A: Osteopathic treatment views knee pain as a result of uneven loading of structures, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This uneven loading can cause strain and inflammation, leading to pain. We consider the whole body, not just the knee, to identify the underlying causes.

Q: What does "uneven loading of structures" mean?
A: It means that the forces acting on the knee joint are not evenly distributed, causing some areas to bear more weight or stress than others.

Q: How does osteopathic treatment approach knee pain?

A: We take a holistic approach, considering the entire musculoskeletal system. We'll assess the knee, as well as the other pertinent areas, including the hips, ankles, lower back, spine, shoulders, and jaw. We'll also look at factors like posture, gait, and movement patterns to identify areas of uneven loading.

Q: What kind of results can I expect from osteopathic treatment for knee pain?

A: With osteopathic treatment, you can expect an improvement in pain and inflammation, as well as improved mobility and function. We aim to address the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, to provide long-term relief and prevention of future episodes.
