In the age of social media, everyone is hearing about the mysterious rise of tongue ties. A study in 2017 found an 834% increase in tongue tie diagnosis in babies from 1997-2012 and an 866% increase in frenotomies (surgery) during that time. Can this really be accurate? Is this the most unheard of genetic catastrophe of all time?

Tethered oral tissues do exist and can prevent your baby from breastfeeding normally. What is often overlooked are the neuro-biomechanical barriers within the baby’s body that affect function. These barriers are cranial/spinal misalignments that interrupt normal physiological function and necessary cranial nerve communication. This commonly occurs during fetal development and during the birth process.
