The Developmental Hierarchy: Understanding Your Child’s Neurological Growth
Child development isn’t just about milestones—it follows a structured neurological hierarchy. If a child struggles with emotions, coordination, or learning, it may be because an earlier stage was skipped. In this blog, we break down Dr. Tony Ebel’s Developmental Hierarchy and how chiropractic care helps build a strong foundation for lifelong growth
Retained Primitive Reflexes in Kids: The Missing Link to Learning, Behavior, and Brain Development
Primitive reflexes should naturally integrate as a child’s nervous system matures, but when they don’t, they can impact movement, focus, and emotional regulation. Many parents turn to therapies, but without addressing the nervous system, true progress is limited. Discover how chiropractic care helps integrate retained reflexes for lasting development.
Chiropractic & The Immune System: The Science Behind Subluxation-Based Care
Did you know that your nervous system directly controls your immune response? Recent research confirms that chiropractic care enhances neuro-immune communication, reduces inflammation, and regulates stress, leading to a stronger, healthier body. In this post, we break down the science behind subluxation-based care and how it optimizes your immune system. Read on to discover how chiropractic adjustments help you adapt, heal, and thrive!
The Neurological Approach to Lip and Tongue Ties: Beyond the Surface
Lip and tongue ties are often misunderstood. Learn how they relate to midline development, the neural tube, and the vagus nerve, and why addressing the nervous system—not just the frenulum—can create lasting improvements in your child’s health.
Birth Trauma: How It Impacts Your Baby’s Nervous System
Birth trauma is more common than many parents realize and can significantly impact a baby’s nervous system. Learn how maternal stress, birth interventions, and delivery pressures affect development—and discover how nervous system-focused chiropractic care can support your baby’s healing and growth naturally.
Colic and the Crying Baby: A Neurological Perspective
The only way a baby can tell us something is wrong is through crying. Discover how colic is often linked to nervous system stress, the role of the vagus nerve, and how chiropractic care can support your baby’s health naturally.
The Neurological Connection to Apraxia and Speech Delays: A New Perspective
Speech delays and apraxia often signal deeper neurological stress. Discover how brain-body communication, the vagus nerve, and chiropractic care can help children improve speech naturally and effectively.
Helping Kids Handle Big Emotions: A Parent’s Guide to Emotional Resilience & Nervous System Health
Helping kids handle big emotions is one of the most important skills parents can nurture. Since a child’s prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for emotional regulation—is still developing, they often rely on their amygdala to process emotions, leading to big reactions. In this blog, we’ll explore why kids struggle with emotional regulation, practical strategies parents can use to support them, and the critical role the nervous system plays in emotional resilience. Plus, we’ll dive into Dr. Heidi Haavik’s research on how chiropractic adjustments engage the prefrontal cortex and how parents act as the “brake” to help children navigate their emotions.
Understanding Sensory Processing Through a Nervous System Lens: Addressing the Root Cause
Many children struggle with sensory processing because of an imbalanced nervous system, often stuck in a fight-or-flight response. In this blog, we’ll explore how the autonomic nervous system impacts sensory integration, the role of early life stress, and how chiropractic care helps restore balance—allowing kids to experience the world with ease
Digestion and the Nervous System: How Chiropractic Care Supports Gut Health
Digestion isn’t just about food—it’s about the nervous system. The vagus nerve, motor function, and autonomic balance all play a crucial role in gut health. If your child struggles with constipation, reflux, or bloating, the answer may lie in their nervous system. Learn how chiropractic care restores gut-brain communication for lasting digestive health.
