There's one small, floating bone that plays a big role in breastfeeding: the hyoid bone.

It sits at the base of the tongue and links the jaw, tongue, neck, and floor of the mouth. When there is restriction or tension here, often from birth trauma like a nuchal cord, it can impact tongue mobility, swallow coordination, and latch stability.

Babies may drip milk, struggle to latch, or tire easily while nursing.

Chiropractors have been druglessly helping infants with issues like this for years. If your child is having issues consult your pediatric chiropractor today many have advanced training to help these little ones get off to a better start in life!

Acupuncture and chiropractic care are both holistic treatments, but they take different approaches. Acupuncture uses tiny needles to restore internal balance and stimulate the body’s natural healing. Chiropractic care focuses on spinal misalignments, using adjustments to improve physical function and support healing from the inside out.

Every fall, the jump to kindergarten exposes all the “hidden work” of the nervous system. In our offices, we see it first-hand—meltdowns, regressions, sensory overload, or a child who just can’t keep up. Parents worry about lost skills. We see the real story: demand has outpaced readiness.

Here’s the clinical lens:

We call this the clinical Demand-Avoidance cycle and it's COMMON to see when a child enters kindergarten! Our job is to determine if this is a typical stop along the way or an actual new regression or deflection that may need more support.

The first step is knowing this is coming. The second is preparing the parents. The third is knowing how to determine which one it is!

Our hierarchical approach and systems give you CLARITY and help you guide parents, provide brain based right now strategies and know how to navigate clinical tools and care plans with ease!

Kindergarten isn’t just “starting school.” It’s a massive spike in neurological demand—new routines, new environments, social complexity, less downtime. If the child’s developmental trajectory doesn’t match these demands, the behaviors will always tell us first. Watch for movement changes, fidgeting, slower processing, or spikes in anxiety.

This is exactly where your brain-based approach matters most. Pause before you “fix” the behavior. Chiropractic creates the opportunity to close the gap between readiness and demand.

How you sleep matters! No matter how you sleep, keeping your spine aligned is key. Side Sleeping is great for easing back pain and even helping with sleep apnea. Back Sleeping can make snoring, sleep apnea, and acid reflux worse. Stomach Sleeping is not ideal for your neck or back.
