  Speaker 2: Time.
• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now we're back to the basics and healthcare with balanced
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: life Chiropractic. I was just getting tongue tied and we're
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: going to talk about tongue ties. Is that a different
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: kind of tongue tied?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: A little bit different?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you had mentioned that. That's why I was
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: so confused. I'm like, what does that mean to be? So,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: what is a tongue tie?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, We've been talking about some different things recently. So
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: if you are a parent and you have a newborn,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: or you have had some young children, I mean, even
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: if your children are twenty thirty years old, you might
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: be familiar with what we're going to talk about. We're
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: going to talk about tongue ties and lip ties.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: So tongue ties and lipt I don't know. I feel
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: like I'm speaking a different language.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? Right? So we've been talking a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: lot about like kind of connective tissue fascia. You know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: last week we talked about PEBLC floor before they were
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: talking about TMJ signus all that kind of stuff. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: talked about how they're all connected in a way. If
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: you were to dissect out all the fashion our body.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So a tongue tie is if you lift up your tongue,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you might notice a kind of long, stringy kind of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: nectar between your tongue and the floor of your mouth.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So it's called the frenulum, and so we all have one,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: but sometimes, especially in babies, it can actually develop more
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: farther out on the tongue, so it's like the tip
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of the tongue can't lift. So when babies are eating,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: their tongue creates suction with the roof of their mouth,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and if they have that tongue tie, they're not able
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to lift their tongue enough to create that vacuum, that suction,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and so babies that struggle with eating, you know, however
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: they eat, they notice they're not getting a good enough seals,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: so they might not actually be eating enough food or
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: they're getting a lot of air. So if you have
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a very baby that has a lot of infantile reflux,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you know, burping a lot, or you know, immediately like
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: projectile vomiting after eating, that can be a common sign
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of a lypt tie. A ton we were talking about
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: tongue ties. Lypt tie is also similar, so you also
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: have those kind of like connector things in the top
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and the bottom that translates. We know, so if you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to pull down your your bottom or your upper lip,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you'll notice that there's that kind of stringy components also there.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I just checked, I have one. Again.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They're normal to have, but the problem is when they're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: too tight and they're not allowing enough movement. Especially we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: see those babies specifically when they're eating, they're not going
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to get enough food. And this can also cause problems
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: with toddlers and you know as they're getting older and older,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and it can actually be related to behavioral issues as well.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And there are ways to correct a tongue tie or
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a lip tie. You'll see this in a pediatric dentist's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: offices that they have a specific kind of laser system
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that they can easily cut that and that's really the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: treatment for those if they're too tight, is you cut
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: them and you know they're they're they're clean, they're you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: safe procedures. I don't do them in my office. That's
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: not something chiropractors. But we can also we can diagnose
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that we can see, oh, your baby is or your child,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we're seeing that they have this tongue tire, this lip
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tie that can be causing some of their issues. It
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: could be you know, postural issues, it can be you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: sleeping problems, that kind of stuff. So it's a simple
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: treatment to work on correcting those. I can't think off
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the top of my head of who in suit falls.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I know there's a dentist in Mitchell that specifically treats
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: tongue ties. Lip ties, I can't think of. I'm sure
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: there aren't two falls. I can't think them off the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: top of my head.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But again, this didn't even know this was a thing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So when she said we're going to talk about tongue ties,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I thought it was about like, there are times that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't I stumble over my words, and I call
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that being tongue tied. Is that the same? That's something different,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: completely right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No, that's different that you know, that's your stumbling over
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: what words to say versus I.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Call that speaking incursive. And my handwriting is horrible and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes my speech is as well. If somebody does think that, hey,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what is going on, you said you can
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: diagnose that, so they would just come in and you'd say, hey,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this is what you need.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's something that can be a quick look in
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the mouth and you can see if that is present
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and if it's causing. It can cause speaking issues with kids,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: like if their tongue can't move fast enough, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: because our tongue is what creates a lot of the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: words that we and that we speak, So there's a
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: lot of different things that can be related to that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So whether somebody needs help with that or any other
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: sort of thing that chiropractic can help with. I've got
• 4:23
