Infant Tongue Tie Management
What is Tongue Tie?
Tongue tie is a condition present at birth that restricts the tongue's range of motion. It can affect a baby's ability to breastfeed, causing difficulties with latching, feeding efficiency, and can lead to maternal discomfort. Early intervention is key to ensuring your baby can feed comfortably and thrive.

Dr. Starsiak is an experienced Osteopathic professional that is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. We use the latest techniques and technologies to assess and treat tongue tie in a safe and comfortable environment.
Our Approach
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Each infant undergoes a thorough examination to determine the extent of the tongue tie and its impact on feeding and to determine if conservative Osteopathic treatment will be sufficient or if laser frenectomy is warranted.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, our specialists will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your baby's specific needs.
- Gentle Procedure: We utilize minimally invasive techniques to gently release the tongue tie. Our priority is to ensure your baby experiences minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Post-Procedure Support: Following the procedure, regardless of whether surgical release is necessary, Dr. Starsiak will provide myo-functional exercises to maintain the treatment results. Additionally, he will offer guidance and support to help you and your baby adapt.
