Chiropractic Care for Tongue Tie and Latching Issues in Franklin, TN
Ready to find relief for your child?
Is your baby struggling to latch, feed, or gain weight? Tongue and oral ties can make feeding painful and exhausting—for both you and your little one. At Three Nails Chiropractic in Franklin, TN, we specialize in gentle chiropractic and cranial care that supports better latch, reduces reflux and gas, and helps babies feed and grow more comfortably.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Tongue Tie & Latching in Franklin, TN.
Tongue and oral ties don’t just affect feeding—they’re often a sign that your baby’s nervous system and cranial balance are under stress. This can make it harder for them to latch, feed comfortably, and gain weight.
At Three Nails Chiropractic in Franklin, TN, we focus on restoring balance so your baby can thrive:
Gentle chiropractic adjustments – Release tension in the spine and upper neck, supporting the vagus nerve (critical for digestion, calming, and latch).
Cranial work – By balancing the skull and palate, we create more space for the tongue, improving suction and reducing feeding struggles.
Support before and after tongue tie revisions – Many families find that care helps the body “unwind” so revisions are more successful, with fewer complications or regressions.
Whole-body nervous system care – Our neurologically focused approach gives babies the best chance to feed, sleep, and grow without unnecessary stress.
By combining chiropractic and cranial care, we address the root causes—not just the symptoms—helping babies in Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and Nolensville feed more comfortably and naturally.
Insight scan
This scan shows lots of stress in the vagus nerve. This nerve is critical for activating healing and restoration in the body. When stressed, the body gets stuck in fight or flight mode, which shuts off proper eating, pooping, and sleeping in babies. .
How Cranial Chiropractic Care Supports Feeding Success
At Three Nails Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to addressing tongue tie and latching issues. Our focus is on balancing the cranial bones and optimizing nervous system function to support your baby's feeding abilities.
Cranial Work for Optimal Latch
By gently adjusting the cranial bones, including the palate, we create more space in the oral cavity. This enhanced space allows for better tongue movement and suction, facilitating a more effective and comfortable latch during feeding sessions.
Unwinding the Nervous System
The process of feeding, especially post-tongue tie revision, can be stressful for a baby's nervous system. Releasing the tie may leave the system in a heightened state, potentially leading to unsuccessful revisions. Chiropractic care helps to "unwind" the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting healing. This approach can either resolve the tie naturally or make surgical interventions more successful and less likely to cause recurring issues.
The Role of Chiropractic Care Before and After a Tongue Tie Revision
If a frenectomy (tongue tie release) is recommended, chiropractic care plays a crucial role in both pre- and post-procedure support.
Pre-Revision Support
Before the procedure, chiropractic adjustments can:
Align the head, neck, and jaw for better access during the release
Reduce tension in the surrounding tissues
Improve tongue and jaw mobility
Post-Revision Recovery
After the release, continued chiropractic care supports:
Healthy healing and scar tissue formation
Restoration of normal tongue function
Prevention of reattachment or compensation patterns
This comprehensive approach ensures that your baby receives the best possible outcome from the procedure.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments – Light, precise care to ease nerve stress and restore balance
Cranial work – Helps align the skull and palate, improving suction and latch
