Did you know chiropractic care may help support infants with oral ties as part of a collaborative care approach? 👶🩵
Tethered oral tissues (lip ties and tongue ties) can contribute to:
• Difficulty latching
• Clicking while nursing
• Gassiness or reflux-like symptoms
• Neck tension and body tightness
• Preference turning one direction
• Feeding fatigue for both baby and mom
Many babies with oral ties also develop tension patterns throughout the neck, jaw, and upper body from compensating during feeding. Gentle pediatric chiropractic care focuses on improving nervous system function, mobility, and reducing tension in these areas to help support more comfortable feeding and movement patterns.
Chiropractic care does not “treat” the tie itself, but may help the body function more efficiently alongside lactation support, bodywork, and when needed, evaluation by a trained oral tie provider. 🤍
Always consult with your pediatrician, IBCLC, or qualified provider for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
