👅Tongue Ties Aren't Just a Tongue Issue
When talking about tongue ties we must go deeper into physiology and look beyond the tongue.
A tongue tie is most commonly found due to other symptoms that arise.
Common compensation patterns seen in infants with tongue ties include:
- Reflux
- Poor Latch
- Body Tension
- Head Turn Preference
- Missed Milestones
These compensation patterns are not only associated with potential tongue ties but deep neurological stress.
The nervous system is the control center for all function within the body including breathing patters, feeding function, movement coordination, tension (or lack of), cranial nerve function (tongue movement) and brainstem regulation.
When neurological stress is not address and cleared compensation patterns occur within the body.
Neurologically focused chiropractic care supports the nervous system by clearing the neurological stress. By removing the interference within the body proper signals are able to be sent back and forth, resulting in optimal function of the body.
When the nervous system has limited interference we can see:
- Improved Latch
- Decreased Tension
- Opening of the Airway
- Ideal Movement Patterns
AND
- Reduction of tongue tie presence
