Finding a Team of Preferred Providers Near You:
Clicking this link will take you to a website where you can put in your location by state and find a provider close to you. But not all providers are created equal! Please get second and even third opinions before deciding on your provider. Remember not every provider is a match for you, sometimes personalities just don’t mesh! That’s OK, find someone you are comfortable working with as this can be an emotional journey. My suggestion is to start with searching for a speech therapist who would then develop your treatment plan and refer you to their known preferred providers for any necessary bodywork and then for the surgical release.
