Oral Ties
Let’s Talk Oral Ties
Did you know that one-third of mothers who stop breastfeeding do so because of oral tie complications? These babies not only miss out on critical health benefits and the nurturing experience of breastfeeding, but often develop speech, dental, airway, and digestive challenges later in life. At Golden Family Chiropractic, Dr. Lauren and Dr. Katie bring both professional expertise and personal experience with oral ties, understanding firsthand how they affect overall health. Their dedication to helping babies thrive has led them to complete hundreds of hours of specialized training in this critical area.
The Chiropractic Connection to Oral Tie Care:
Chiropractic care is essential when addressing tethered oral tissues and midline defects. Here's why: The tension from oral ties can create lasting changes to your child's musculoskeletal system, particularly affecting the neck, cranium, and face. Think of oral ties like puppet strings pulled too tight and twisted – these restrictions create a complex web of tension through the intricate connections between the mouth, jaw, collarbone, sternum, and spine. This tension often leads to asymmetry and various functional issues that can persist from infancy through adulthood.
Pre-Revision Care: Before your child undergoes an oral tie revision, we strongly recommend a pediatric chiropractic evaluation. This assessment provides crucial baseline information about your child's nervous system and body tension patterns. By beginning to balance your child's nervous system before the procedure, we can help:
Enhance the effectiveness of the revision
Reduce the likelihood of reattachment
Minimize the need for secondary procedures
Post-Revision Support: Following a revision, your child's body undergoes significant adjustments as the musculature in the mouth, jaw, neck, shoulders, and spine adapts to its new freedom. Our comprehensive care approach includes:
Gentle adjustments and cranial work
Guidance on essential exercises
Baby-led movement strategies
Support for optimal motor pattern development
Neural pathway reprogramming for lasting change
Parents consistently report remarkable improvements after combined revision and chiropractic care:
Enhanced sleep quality
More efficient feeding
Resolution of digestive issues
Cleared chronic congestion
Improved head turning and symmetry
Better head shape
Overall improved family well-being
