Craniosacral therapy can be incredibly supportive for newborns who are having difficulty nursing. 🤍

This sweet girl had a tongue tie released, but she was still struggling to latch comfortably. Her loving parents wanted to make sure she had all the support possible as her body adjusted — and that’s where craniosacral therapy can help.

Even after a tongue tie release, a baby’s nervous system and cranial structures may still be holding tension from pregnancy, birth, or compensatory patterns that developed while nursing was challenging. Craniosacral therapy uses a very gentle, light-touch approach to help the body release this tension and find better balance.

In this session, we focused on the sphenoid bones, which play a key role in oral function, sucking, swallowing, and overall cranial alignment. By gently working with these bones and creating subtle traction and release, we help improve mobility and communication between the mouth, jaw, and nervous system — often making latching feel easier and more natural for baby.

When the nervous system feels safe and regulated, babies are better able to coordinate: • Latch • Suck-swallow-breathe patterns • Jaw and tongue movement • Overall comfort while feeding

If your baby is struggling with nursing, reflux, tension, or feeding after a tongue tie release, gentle craniosacral therapy may be a supportive next step.

Your body is always working to heal. Sometimes it just needs the right support ✨

Class IV Red Light Laser Therapy works at a cellular level to help reduce pain, calm inflammation, improve circulation, and support nerve and tissue healing.
This isn’t about forcing the body to change — it’s about creating the environment where healing can happen more efficiently.

✔️ Safe ✔️ Non-invasive ✔️ No downtime

We often use laser therapy alongside chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and movement to help the nervous system shift out of stress and into healing.
When the body feels supported, it responds.
If you’re curious whether laser therapy could be helpful for you, we’d love to guide you.

The CranioSacral Rhythm finding midline and dropping into still point 🤍 This was the final moment of our session — and it’s one of the most powerful.
Your craniosacral system has the incredible ability to “shut off,” almost like a gentle reset. Think of it like when your computer has too many tabs open, starts glitching, and you finally say, “Okay… I’m just going to restart this.”
That’s exactly what a still point is. A reboot. A clearing. A moment where the nervous system softens, reorganizes, and comes back online with more ease.
These are the moments we live for — watching the body return to balance all on its own. 🤍✨

Not all chiropractors treat the same. It’s important to find one who listens to what your body actually needs rather than doing the same adjustments on every body.

This feedback means everything!

When treated at Hunt Vitalty, our chiropractic care isn’t just aggressive adjustments, we also include myofascial work and craniosacral therapy. In conjunction with traditional chiropractic, these methods create amazing results.

When a baby can settle quickly after being upset, it’s a sign of a beautifully regulated nervous system. But many little ones struggle with this — and that’s completely normal. Their bodies are still learning how to process stress, integrate new experiences, and feel safe in their environment.

That’s one of the reasons we love Craniosacral Therapy for babies.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light-touch practice that supports the tissues, fluids, and rhythms of the nervous system. Babies often hold tension from birth, feeding challenges, tongue/lip ties, digestive discomfort, or big developmental leaps — and they don’t yet have the tools to release it on their own.

Through subtle, soothing contact, CST helps:
✨ Calm the nervous system ✨ Release stored tension from the body ✨ Improve sleep + digestion ✨ Reduce fussiness and irritability ✨ Support bonding and emotional regulation

Parents tell us all the time: “My baby is calmer.” “He settles easier.” “She sleeps better.” “We finally feel a shift.”

A regulated baby is a more comfortable baby — and a more peaceful home.

Dealing with a knee injury?
 Red light therapy can be a gentle, non-invasive way to support your body’s healing process.

Here’s how it actually works: When red and near-infrared light hit your skin, they can travel deep into the tissue — right into the cells around your injured knee. Inside those cells, the light interacts with the mitochondria (your cell’s “energy factories”).

This helps your mitochondria work more efficiently, producing more ATP, aka the energy your body uses to repair tissue.

More ATP = better cellular repair, less inflammation, and often less pain.

So while red light therapy isn’t a magic fix, it can support your body’s natural healing pathways — making it easier to move, bend, and get back to doing what you love without the constant irritation and swelling.
