Chiropractic On Winston Can Help With Breastfeeding Difficulties & Tongue-Tie

Chiropractic care can complement medical treatments for tongue-tie by addressing any musculoskeletal tension or misalignments in the baby’s neck and jaw.

By ensuring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments may help babies with tongue-tie latch more effectively and feed with greater ease.

Breastfeeding & Tongue-Tie Adelaide - Breastfeeding is not always straightforward, especially when complications like tongue-tie arise.

At Chiropractic On Winston, we provide specialised chiropractic care to help mums and babies in Adelaide manage breastfeeding difficulties, including those related to tongue-tie.

Our gentle techniques aim to relieve discomfort for mothers and improve babies' ability to latch effectively.

How Chiropractic Can Help with Tongue-Tie and Breastfeeding

Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the tissue connecting the baby’s tongue to the bottom of the mouth is shorter or tighter than usual. This can restrict the baby’s ability to move their tongue freely, which can make breastfeeding more challenging.

Tongue-tie often affects how well a baby can latch onto the breast, leading to discomfort, inefficient feeding, and sometimes milk supply issues.

Chiropractic care can complement medical treatments for tongue-tie by addressing any musculoskeletal tension or misalignments in the baby’s neck and jaw.

By ensuring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments may help babies with tongue-tie latch more effectively and feed with greater ease.

Benefits of Chiropractic for Mums and Babies with Tongue-Tie

Chiropractic care can provide significant relief for both mums and babies dealing with tongue-tie. Some of the key benefits include:

Improved latch: Chiropractic adjustments help babies with tongue-tie achieve a better latch, reducing feeding difficulties and discomfort.
Enhanced mobility: Gentle adjustments support better movement in the baby’s jaw and neck, helping them feed more comfortably.
Pain relief for mothers: Many breastfeeding mums experience discomfort from poor latching due to tongue-tie. Chiropractic care can relieve neck and back tension, making the breastfeeding process more comfortable for the mother.
Support for post-tongue-tie release: After a tongue-tie release (frenectomy), chiropractic care can help by ensuring that the baby’s neck, jaw, and spine remain properly aligned, aiding in their recovery and improving breastfeeding outcomes.

Improving Latch with Tongue-Tie Issues

A baby’s ability to latch is often compromised by tongue-tie. Chiropractic adjustments can help babies with this condition by relieving tension in their neck and jaw muscles, allowing for better tongue movement.

With improved range of motion, babies are often able to latch more effectively, making breastfeeding less painful for mums and more successful for babies.

At Chiropractic On Winston, we work closely with parents and healthcare professionals to provide a comprehensive approach to managing tongue-tie and breastfeeding issues, ensuring the best outcomes for your baby.

Chiropractic Care for Newborns with Tongue-Tie

Babies with tongue-tie often experience discomfort or difficulty feeding, but chiropractic care can help address these issues in a non-invasive way.

By gently adjusting the baby’s neck and jaw, we can help improve their range of motion and reduce any tension that may be affecting their ability to breastfeed.

Chiropractic care is especially helpful when combined with other treatments for tongue-tie, such as a frenectomy.

Our Adelaide chiropractors use gentle, baby-safe techniques to ensure that your newborn receives the best care for their specific needs.
