Are you a parent who feels like you’ve exhausted all options when it comes to your child’s health? Have you tried conventional medicine only to be disappointed by its focus on symptoms alone rather than causes? Or perhaps you’ve tried numerous natural remedies yet still find something lacking? If any of this resonates with you, please know you’re not alone.
Millions of families share your frustration, seeking answers while feeling trapped in a cycle of doctor visits, therapies, and medications. But what if we told you there’s a really important piece missing from the puzzle? A crucial system in your child’s body that most conventional providers often overlook, but one that holds the key to your child’s health and wellness?
So, if you are tired of bandaid solutions and are eager to learn about the underlying causes of your child’s health challenges, read on to learn about the most crucial system in the body – the brain and the central nervous system.
Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care is the key to getting your child’s health back on track. So keep reading to learn all about The Perfect Storm affecting our child’s health and how our drug-free approach aims to reverse it.
Understanding the Nervous System: The Foundation of Health
As Neurologically-Focused Pediatric and Family Chiropractors, we go way beyond surface symptoms and dig down to the root cause of each child’s unique challenges. At the center of our approach is the nervous system— a complex network of nerves and cells that serves as the body’s master controller. The nervous system is responsible for coordinating every function, from breathing and digestion to movement and emotional regulation. When this system experiences stress or imbalance, it can present in your child as a multitude of health challenges.
Picture a car stuck in overdrive, revving at full throttle without pause – this is similar to what happens when a child’s nervous system gets stuck in a state of constant stress, known as sympathetic dominance. This prolonged activation of the fight-or-flight response can wreak havoc on your child’s body, affecting every other system in their body, including:
- Digestive and gut health
- Immune health
- Gross and fine motor development
- Focus, cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation
This non-stop stress mode is what we call subluxation, dysautonomia, and nervous system dysregulation – all of which mean an overstressed and imbalanced nervous system. This overwhelming stress and neurological dysfunction can lead to a wide range of health challenges, such as colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and so much more.
Identifying the Triggers
Understanding the triggers that contribute to sympathetic overdrive is important for getting to the root causes of your child’s health challenges. The three most common “Perfect Storm” triggers are:
- Prenatal Stress: high levels of stress, anxiety, and complications during pregnancy
- Birth Trauma: interventions such as forceps, vacuum, induction, and c-section
- Environmental Factors: early exposure to toxins, chemicals, and medications like antibiotics
While genetics, gut health, and nutrition are all essential to your child’s health, addressing the underlying neurological dysfunction is key when addressing chronic health challenges. We need to assess and measure the health and function of the nervous system first and foremost, and that is exactly what we do as Neurologically-Focused Chiropractors.
The Power of INSiGHT Scans and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care
We use cutting-edge technology called INSiGHT Scans and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to detect and measure the presence and level of subluxation and dysautonomia in every patient. These noninvasive scans help us not only find out if subluxation and nervous system dysregulation are present in your child, but they also help to measure it and determine its severity and where the tension and imbalance are within the NeuroSpinal System.
Once we have this information, we can create a personalized and individualized care plan for your child tailored to their unique needs. By addressing the root cause, restoring proper nervous system function, and improving regulation, your child can experience lasting improvements in their health and well-being.
