Thanksgiving is meant to be a time of gratitude, connection, and slowing down to enjoy the company of family and friends. But let’s be honest—more often than not, it comes with a fair share of stress.

When most parents hear the phrase birth trauma, they think of the “big” events—an emergency C-section, forceps, or vacuum extraction. And while those are certainly significant, the truth is that nearly every birth exerts some level of stress on a newborn’s nervous system.

When parents hear the term ADHD, they often think of restless behavior, poor focus, or emotional outbursts. It’s one of the most common childhood diagnoses, with nearly 10% of school-aged children receiving the label.

If your child melts down over loud noises, can’t stand tags in their clothing, or struggles with everyday transitions—it’s not just behavior. It’s not just “sensitivity.” It’s a sign that their nervous system may be overwhelmed.

When most people start chiropractic care, it’s because something in their health isn’t working the way it should. Headaches, poor sleep, digestive struggles, focus issues, constant stress—the list goes on.

One of the most common questions I hear from parents is, “How long will it take for my child to get better?” And while I wish I could say there’s a magic adjustment that fixes everything instantly — that’s not how the nervous system works. The truth is, healing happens in phases.

When a child struggles with focus, behavior, sleep, digestion, or emotional regulation, most parents understandably want relief as quickly as possible. But when it comes to neurological health, there’s no “instant fix.”

Why do we start every care journey with INSiGHT scans? Because healing doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by design. These safe, non-invasive scans give us the full picture of how your nervous system is functioning beneath the surface.

You may have heard of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) from a teacher, therapist, or concerned family member—or maybe you’ve simply Googled “why does my child hate tags and loud noises?” Sensory Processing Disorder isn’t a buzzword or a trend. It’s a neurological challenge that affects how the brain receives, organizes, and responds to sensory input.

Fall is a beautiful season—but it’s also one of the most stressful for your child’s nervous system. Shifting routines, less sunshine, more screen time, and immune stress can quickly lead to emotional dysregulation, frequent illness, and poor sleep.

When it comes to your child’s health (or your own), symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. Whether it’s anxiety, poor sleep, digestion issues, emotional outbursts, or developmental delays—these outward signs are often indicators of a deeper problem: nervous system dysregulation.

More teens than ever are facing anxiety, sleep disruption, and emotional overload — and tech overuse is playing a major role. In this video, Dr. Drake unpacks how screen time impacts the teen nervous system, why symptoms linger even when screens are off, and how INSiGHT scanning and chiropractic care help restore calm, sleep, and emotional regulation.

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, so do our family rhythms. Fall is a season of transitions—new school routines, shifting sleep patterns, busy weekends, and more time indoors. While it’s one of the coziest times of year, it also brings fresh challenges to our health: immune stress, increased screen time, emotional dysregulation, and nervous system overload.

Wondering why your chiropractor recommends a specific number of visits? In this video, Dr. Drake explains the why behind neurologically focused care planning and how we use INSiGHT scans to build personalized strategies that create lasting change—especially for kids with stress, sensory, sleep, or emotional regulation challenges.

Being a parent in today’s world can feel like trying to pour from an empty cup. The pace is relentless—balancing work, home, kids’ schedules, emotional demands, and a constant stream of notifications. We often tell ourselves we’ll rest later, get help later, decompress later… but that “later” rarely comes.

Progress doesn’t always look like forward motion. If your child’s development or healing has hit a plateau, this video is for you. Learn why neurological plateaus are a normal part of the healing process—and how they often come just before your child’s next breakthrough.

It’s no secret that today’s teens are navigating an entirely different world than we did. Screens are everywhere — in their pockets, classrooms, bedrooms — and they’re rarely “off.” As a parent, it’s easy to feel like the only solution is to take the phone away.

Recurring back pain, headaches, or stubborn injuries? They’re often symptoms of a deeper problem: nervous system dysregulation. In this video, we explain why traditional treatments miss the mark — and how neurologically focused chiropractic care helps your body truly heal.

When people—kids or adults—begin neurologically-focused chiropractic care, it’s common to see changes, sometimes big ones, in how their body feels and functions. At first, these changes can feel confusing or even concerning, almost like things are getting worse before they get better.

Teens today are stuck in a cycle of stress, sleepless nights, and total burnout—and it’s not just from too much screen time. When the nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight,” the body literally can’t access the calm, restorative state needed for rest, recovery, and emotional regulation.
