    “Chiropractic care focuses on optimizing the nervous system’s function, which plays a direct role in how muscles like the genioglossus operate. By reducing tension and improving nerve communication, chiropractic adjustments can improve feeding issues in a natural, non-invasive manner.”

  • International Lactation Consultant Association

    Find article here.

    Conclusion: “This study is one of the first to bring together lactation consultants and osteopaths to address infants with biomechanical sucking difficulties. Findings support the hypothesis that the addition of osteopathy to regular lactation consultations is beneficial and safe.”
