The Wellery has specific and deep subject matter expertise in the space of not only infant tongue tie and infant lip tie, but also in preparing releases of all ages.

How can a pediatric chiropractor help my child's ear infections?
Ear infections stem from improper drainage and a struggling immune system. When the vagus nerve is not able to properly coordinate with the levator veli paltini muscle to drain fluid, ear infections occur. Chiropractic care focuses on adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae and increasing communication between the vagus nerve and the body to promote proper drainage. At The Wellery, we see firsthand the positive impact of chiropractic care for babies and kids.
