Why Baby Still Needs Craniosacral Therapy After Frenotomy 21st July 2020
Some mothers are wondering why their baby is still not
latching and breastfeeding optimally even after a frenotomy procedure. Frenotomy is the procedure in which the
lingual frenulum is cut.
My
intention is to support baby’s nervous system to self-regulate function of the
tongue, suck-breathe-swallow reflex, in order to successfully latch and
breastfeed after the frenotomy procedure. As you can see below, the anatomy of tongue consists
of tongue, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and lymphs. Babies are the ones that need comprehensive
care to help their bodies unwind, repair and self-regulate.
Look At The Anatomy Of The Tongue.
The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue
and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the
frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone.
The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech.
There are numerous important structures surrounding the
tongue.
Relationship with:
Anterior and lateral - teeth
Superior - hard and soft palates
Inferior - mucosa of the floor
of the oral cavity, sublingual salivary glands, posterior wall of oropharynx
Posterior - epiglottis,
pharyngeal inlet
Lateral - palatoglossal and
palatopharyngeal arches
Muscles governing tongue:
Intrinsic - superior longitudinal, vertical,
transverse, inferior longitudinal muscles
Extrinsic - genioglossus,
hypoglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus muscles
Lymphatic:
Marginal, central, dorsal, submandibular, jugulo-omohyoid,
deep cervical lymph nodes
Blood vessels:
Lingual artery (dorsal lingual, sublingual, deep lingual
arteries), ascending palatine, tonsillar, ascending pharyngeal arteries
Nerves:
Hypoglossal nerve, pharyngeal plexus, lingual nerve,
glossopharyngeal nerve, facial nerve, vagus nerve, chorda tympani
