Tongue-Tie and Palate Evaluation Procedures

Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, can significantly impact an individual’s ability to speak, eat/nurse, swallow, breathe properly as well as impair proper cranial bone growth patterns. Understanding the assessment and management of tongue-tie is essential for healthcare professionals working with patients who may be affected by this condition.

In addition to tongue-tie, the evaluation of the palate plays a vital role in evaluating and treating various speech, breathing, eating, and swallowing disorders. The palate consists of the hard and soft tissues at the roof of the mouth. This course will delve into the techniques and procedures used to assess the structure and function of the palate, enabling you to better evaluate and address issues related to its functioning.

Throughout this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the tongue and palate, the various types and classifications of tongue-tie, and the impact these conditions can have on function and development. You will also explore specific evaluation techniques that will aid in diagnosing and evaluating and managing tongue-tie and palate-related concerns.

Feedback From Our Students

    “My three takeaways from this program:
    1. A really good overview of anatomy of the cranium.
    2. Considerations for treating various issues in the cranium.
    3. More info on tongue-tie for my patients.

    I have started to implement more cranial work into my practice and assess infants especially differently. I had a passion for tongue-ties before but it has solidified that I want to keep diving deeper to help my patients.

    I applied the fruit jar techniques to an infant and that helped them instantly relax on the table and not cry the rest of the visit while mom got to also get treated!

    This was very informative but I can tell that an in person seminar for me is needed to really work on the hands on. Some of it feels very intuitive and I want to get better at that.”

    “I’ve really enjoyed all of the cranial portions of this course; it was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.

    I have a better understanding of different cranial adjustments and how important that cranial motion is, particularly in the developing child.

    I have been checking the sphenoid in all my babies, as well as some children and adults. I need to review some of the internal/oral adjustments to make sure I understand them correctly before I start messing around with them.

    I wished I would have learned more about actual tongue-ties – I feel like we didn’t really get into it at all, and that the course was really focused on palate and cranial work (which is also great, but it’s not what I expected which led to some disappointment). Thank you for your hard work with this course.”

  • Andrew Alft, DC

    My takeaways are: Understanding the dynamics of palate anatomy, motion, exam and corrections is a great bridge between the internal and external cranial dynamics. Creates a much deeper grasp on how to evaluate and treat all of the cranial joints.

    This program has given another great level of depth and improvement into cranial care in my practice. Your programs have made a great impact on my ability to care for my patients of all ages.

    In a more general sense, the growth in my ability to find cranial dysfunction and make corrections to these areas has opened the door for me to help my patients in many new and valuable ways.

    I would absolutely recommend this course.

    After 25 years in practice focusing mostly on the spine, the new study of understanding how to work on the cranial areas has been a great addition to my life and practice. Thank you!
